with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.
‘I love the space, and being private,' Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the world. If I'm in
the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don't have to answer
it because visitors can't see I'm in!'
'There are 142 steps to the top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good
exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags of shopping
from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.'
'When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't
decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and
knew how we wanted it to look.'
'Living here can be difficult - yesterday I climbed a four-metre ladder to clean the windows. But
when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to sea on a clear day, and that's a wonderful
experience. I'm really glad we moved.'

themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to
listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking at
other things in the room while you're talking to someone.

/>I've always been a bit of an entertainer and played the funny man.
I was a part-time comedian for years, so I learned how to stand in front of audiences. It made me sure
of myself. I like being liked and I love making everyone smile.
I've lived in London all my life and have just moved to a larger house with my wife Clare and
our two children, Jimmy and Madeleine. We spend a lot of time just singing and dancing around the
house. I grew up with music because my dad is the pianist, Chester Harriott - who's still playing, by
the way. My working day is divided between television and writing cook books, though TV takes
most of my time. I spend about five days a fortnight working on the cooking programmes I appear in.
I eat all sorts of things at home but I only buy quality food. When I'm cooking, I experiment with
whatever is in the fridge - it's good practice for my TV series.
I'm a football fan and enjoy going to matches, but I'm a homeloving person really. I don't like
going to the pub but we do go out to eat about twice a month. There's nothing better than a night at
home playing with the children. I rarely go to bed before midnight. Late evening is when fresh
thoughts on cooking usually come to me, so I often write and plan my programmes then. When I
eventually get to bed, I have no trouble sleeping!
