The day we get in touch with Andrea Mara is an emotional one. The successful author has just received her second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, and it brought the mum-of-three to tears.

"I got my second vaccination today and welled up in the centre thinking about the enormity of it – where we were in January and where we are now," she says. "I’m not rushing back to crowded venues but it feels so, so, good to be vaccinated and to hear good news stories."
