MY PERFECT SUNDAY

- By Cerys Matthews

I wake up early and read. Someone will bring me a coffee and my three children will play quietly.

I don’t like talking to anyone first thing! I don’t eat breakfast so I’ll gather up my records and head off to BBC Wogan House.

Even on my perfect Sunday I’d still do my 10am 6music radio show as I love playing all my favourite records and interviewi­ng interestin­g artists.

I come off air at midday starving so I’ll go home and cook – vegetarian with Yorkshire puddings and gravy and lots of roasted vegetables. The kids, my husband Steve and neighbours will gather round the big kitchen table to eat and talk. I’ll open a good bottle of wine, I’m into riesling.

Then Steve and I, maybe the two youngest, will go for a stroll along Portobello Road. Hopefully after Steve has bathed and put the kids to bed, I’ll light a fire, get the guitar out and more friends will come over. I’ll then watch the news and by 11pm I’m back in bed with a book.

Cerys is the founder of The Good Life Experience, a festival of culture and the great outdoors in Hawarden, Flintshire from September 15-17. Tickets at
