A lover of books (everything, well mostly), film, music (early music, classical, jazz, world and folk, especially music off the beaten track), history (especially ancient and medieval), good food and wine, travel, walking, art (looking at), listening to the radio, and sitting somewhere warm with a cold beer and espresso watching the world go by.

The Foreign Secretary would be Jane Austen and the Secretary of State for Health Florence Nightingale. Other ministerial nominees to follow.
