Rosalind Brookman reporter

Q. Cinema or theatre? What is your favourite show or film?
Rosalind: Cinema – disappearing into the darkness of a quiet cinema and immersing myself in a film is a total treat. I have lots of films I love, depending on the mood I'm in, but one of my favourites of all time is Kind Hearts and Coronets: the plot is great, Dennis Price and Alec Guiness are wonderful, and what a twist at the end!

Q.What do you do to keep fit and healthy?
Rosalind: Walk: I'm lucky enough to live close to Ashtead Common, which is beautiful in all seasons and weathers, so I take long walks there as often as I can.

Q. If you had a motto, what would it be?
Rosalind: Never accept criticism from somebody you wouldn't go to for advice!

Q. What is your bucket list holiday destination?
Rosalind: Italy – drinking red wine in the Tuscan hills, eating lots of pasta and finally putting the DuoLingo Italian I started learning during lockdown in practice.

Q. What is your New Year's resolution?
Rosalind: Read more, walk more and try as many more flavours of gin as possible!
