Sunday with Angela Hartnett: ‘I’m up at 6.30am enjoying an empty Hampstead Heath’

Early riser? I try, although I’ve been slacking recently. I like to be up at 6.30am and off to an empty Hampstead Heath. I’ve got antisocial dogs who think they own the park, so it’s easier that way. Then I can spend the rest of the day at home away from everyone.

Not a people person then? On Sundays, no. I live in east London, where Sundays are stupidly busy. I’m old enough to remember when everything was closed. I miss that sense of the world being shuttered. I love being in southern Italy. Sundays, all the shops are shut, save the baker, maybe, for the morning. We need that break from the insanity.
