She spoke to Saga Magazine about what it was like leaving Great British Bake Off and how she's learning to love being old. But she also shared her favourite destinations and her biggest packing disaster.
At the moment, Antananarivo the capital of Madagascar because we’ve just been there, it has highly coloured little houses, running down the hillside to a river, with a palace at the top
Again, Madagascar because I’ve just been, it’s full of the most fantastic wildlife – lemurs and there are wonderful baobab trees
My laptop so I can write. My husband says there are three of us in the marriage: me, him and my computer.
I’m uneasy if I don’t have a means of writing.
Take a tour of Antananarivo and Antsirabe, and then experience the best of the island - explore its rugged terrain, take in elegant architecture and go in search of ring-tailed lemurs.
I went to Lanzarote to stay with a friend, Sir Ernest Hall, who I actually fell in love with, and then was with for a while.
It's not a packing disaster but they sent my luggage to Venezuela or somewhere, and so I had absolutely no clothes or anything.
It was a KLM plane and they gave me a little pack, of boxer shorts and a T shirt. And I lived in these boxer shorts and T shirt for my entire weekend. It obviously worked!
I want to go to Norway, to Lapland and up the fjords.
