This week Bunny chats to Plum Sykes in her garden, in Gloucestershire. 

Christened Victoria but nicknamed Plum, she grew up with parents who had an extravagant lifestyle, mixing in high society circles, but with little money. Graduating from Oxford, Plum went to work for Vogue in the States. 

A successful novelist Plum is about to launch her latest book ‘Wives Like Us’ a satire based on the Chipping Norton set.
