I've found pregnancy awesome. I?haven't had sickness or anything. I'm only just getting my head round the fact there's a person living in me rent-free, eating everything I eat. I'm fascinated by it. People can't wait to share horror stories, but I'm enjoying it.
We're not telling anyone the name before he's born. The last time I said a name I liked someone took it. My husband, Meschach, and I want to keep something back, so there's a bit of?surprise and mystery.
I'm obsessed with bright rainbow colours. A friend got this necklace for me in Cape Town, but you can find good African accessories in Brixton and Portobello markets in London.
We're looking to conquer classic meat dishes and turn them vegetarian. We've been taking Delia's recipes and mixing them up with my mum's West African recipes, then our own ideas. One of my favourite meals is peanut butter soup. It's traditionally made with vegetable oil, but I use olive oil to thicken it. You serve it with fufu – a big dumpling you eat with your hands.
The plan is to go travelling with our son. Meschach was raised in Wales, but as a child he travelled through Kenya, Ethiopia and Ghana. I think it's essential to go away every year, so you don't forget what the rest of the world looks like.
