OTHER INTERESTS
Daisy supports many charities. She is proud to be Vice-Chair of the board of Internews - a global charity that empowers local media to make the news where there is no 4th Estate.
As well as news and current events, Daisy has a wide range of other interests, which she writes about and comments on, including all aspects of modern family life - she's typical of the "sandwich generation": juggling elderly parents, teenagers and a career. Before all that she was something of a petrol-head and proud to hold her full motorbike license, but hasn't owned a motorbike since having babies...
She loves interior design and is mad about upcycling and furniture restoration, upholstery and house refurbishments. She admits to being addicted to Ebay. Her taste in culture is eclectic and seldom high-brow.
She lives in North London with her husband and two children as well as Sparky, a rather needy Tibetan Terrier, who is also a seasoned broadcaster.
