Sunday with Ellie Taylor: ‘there’s a lot of pyjama action – we’re usually quite unwashed’

Lie-in or early start?
Always an early start. My one-year-old has just started sleeping until 6.15am. It feels much later than that because for a long time it was consistently 5am.

What time is breakfast?
About two minutes after either child gets downstairs. I’ll fill the kettle the night before and have a mug ready with a tea bag in it, so it’s good to go before I give the baby his bottle. Then it’s a video call to Australia to my in-laws, making the baby do his new tricks, high-octane stuff like clapping.
