Julian Clary is standing in the snow in a thick jumper outside his grand old country house. It is half-timbered, 16th-century and seems to be leaning into the snow. He is waiting to help me out of my car.
The house used to belong to Noël Coward up until the 1950s and is haunted. Julian wants to make sure I don’t slip in the snow because that’s the kind of thing the spirits of the house do – make people fall over. Coward wrote Blithe Spirit and much of his best work here. The house is said to have quite a few ghosts. Some of them cause trouble and they often keep him awake at night. Trying to write here has also been problematic.....
