I naturally wake up about 9am unless my six-year-old daughter Indy comes in to wake me up. I am spoiled! Tony (Speight) my husband owns West Cork Coffee and it’s a joke in my house that I don’t get out of bed until there’s a flat white brought to me. We get the Irish Examiner delivered so my ritual is to stay in bed, sip on my coffee and start with the Weekend magazine, then the Property section and then ‘Books’ are my business. Then I’ll go from the front to the back of the paper and read the whole thing.
