Sarah Raven
is,
as you say, becoming too commercial for her own good, but I could
listen
to
her voice all day. She used to be a GP, and that's easy to imagine:
her
voice is very down-to-earth-soothing- you know-it's-good for-you. It's
the
only bit of her I like.

Her husband's grandmother was Vita Sackville-West and I've heard people
say
that Sarah dresses as she does as a sort of 'homage' to Vita S-W. ;-)

How interesting! However, I can't say SR's dress sense does anything
for
me, however Sackville-westesque it may be. I suspect VS-W's wardrobe
contained longer robes than SR's! However, she may have gardened in
something more masculine - given her, er, persuasion. :~)

Jodphurs come to mind for some reason! I think it's the boots that are
particularly similar - if that makes sense.

It would if I were a horsey person! I assume they're kinky boots .. or can
you wear them back to front?! {:~)

Sorry, I don't get out much!
