"And then along comes the river - that's how I call myself - giving that sense of humour and that sense of joy and sense of little more freedom and I've always been like that with the girls, so they have the best of both."

When asked about life as a grandmother, the writer replied: "I think that it's so fabulous to be a granny. And for all those grannies out there. I'm going to own 'super grannie'.

"When I go to see August, he’s 16 months old, he really finds me funny. So for once, I know that he really is thinking I'm funny, and then Sienna, she's just unbelievable. She's only seven months, I'm very very, very lucky."
