Jessie writes, “I’m still writing history books and have a new one out with The Bodley Head (Penguin Random House) in May. It’s called ‘The Siege of Loyalty House’ and tells the story of the English Civil War through one particularly interesting and brutal siege in Hampshire. Thanks, as ever, to Mrs Green, Mr Stunt, Mr Rudolf, Mr Johnson and all the Stowe temples for inspiration! We have two girls: Bella (13) and Lara (10) and here I am with Bella’s godparents, Miranda Raison and Sophia Chambré (née Calvert), both also Lyttelton 95, celebrating our joint birthday in London this year.”
