I'm a youngish well-educated sort who enjoys tea, books, playing dress-ups and filling my life and house with pretty things. I still haven't gotten over the fact that I wasn't a child prodigy. I was a teenage punk, my spirit animal is Meat Loaf and when I grow up, I want to marry a lord and write romance novels. Lynda Day is my hero.
The swans Snowdon photographed in 1965 belonged to Lady Galway whose family had kept a swannery for over 300 years at the time. Today the Galway Swannery at Abbotsbury in Dorset is owned by the only surviving daughter of the 9th Viscount Galway, Charlotte Townsend. She is the only person in Britain other than the Queen entitled to own swans.
