with Morven Watson
It’s back! After a short hiatus, we return to our Q&A series, starting off with the lovely Cats & Rocking Chairs blogger Miss Morven Watson.
Can you describe yourself in five words?
Forgetful, Impatient, Excessive, Clumsy, Irreverent.
What’s in your fridge?
No ‘real’ food. About 5 Easter eggs and other desert orientated things. I usually have a fridge full of chocolate and maybe the odd tomato.
What’s been your biggest fashion disaster to date?
The fashion disasters are reoccurring…on an almost weekly basis. I don’t have to look far to see my last one, as it’s usually documented on my blog the week before. I’d like to refer to my recent ‘cowboy’ arrangement - camel jeans, open toe boots and a big hat. It sounds like it would work…but it just didn’t.
Who would be your dream dinner date?
Dim Sum with Lucian Freud!
Do you have a party trick?
I consider myself a cat whisperer. If the host has a cat…it WILL be in my arms in about 10 minutes.
