ELLA MILLS
The last two years Matt and I have worked solidly; I spent our honeymoon by the pool answering Twitter questions about cashews versus almonds, we cancelled our first-year anniversary trip to Paris at two hours’ notice when our granola went into stores early, we’ve opened delis and launched new products, but this summer we saw that we needed to reevaluate. Matt’s mum, my mother-inlaw [Dame Tessa Jowell, Labour peer] was diagnosed with a brain tumour and we realised that we need to make real time for each other and for our family. This has been the hardest year, but it’s also taught me some incredibly valuable lessons.
