Miles was late. He was 'putting an offer in on a second home in the area'.

The festival crowd - full of edgy mums and dads, with their trendy children donning floral headbands - lapped up the jokes about life with 2.4 children and the dreaded dishwasher.
Miles was different to his Have got I Got News For You persona.

'Too much to do', 'no time for myself' he said.

We all recognised his middle England life as we sat in the sun on our Cath Kidston chairs.
Poor Miles, domestic life can be a bore.
I just wonder what the nanny thought.
