Sunday with Nina Sosanya: ‘I’ll eat whatever rubbish happens to be in the fridge’

Lie-in or early start? I’m a horrible sleeper – I spend very little time in the bedroom – and I’ll read until the rest of the world wakes up. On an ideal Sunday morning I’d go for a walk with binoculars. I like bird-watching.

Favourite bird? The house sparrow. They’re in decline, so they’re more interesting than they would seem, and they’re full of character.
