Woman's Own

It was the way to do things then.

And then I went on to, um, some nationals and I freelanced and I worked on Woman's Own and, um, I just built up a sort of a career as a writer.

And then when I had my kids, it just felt to me that it was too, it was just not a, it just felt too vulnerable a career when I needed to be making a living for them, you know, and for us as a family.

And I was really lucky that a friend invited me to do some PR for the charity.

But Abbey's own journey has taken her much further into well-being and spirituality.

She is the founder of the Soul, Spirit and Wellbeing Festival in Essex, a feng shui and numerology follower.

So can we go to, how did you end up interviewing, I mean, Joan Collins and Twiggy?

Well, that was probably part of my job with them.

When I used to work at Woman on Woman's Own, there used to be kind of features like Q&As.

And that was kind of my job pretty much on Woman on Woman's Own.

I remember a particular thing when I was like 10 years old, being taken to rules, just her and me.

It was a day when she took me out to see the offices she worked in, the offices of The Sun and Women's Own, these great publications.

And the first time I got to eat oysters sitting next to my dear old mum and just thought, wow, the adult world.

It's quite precocious, isn't it? Oh, it's disgusting.
