Charlotte Smith Is Sensible

Available for over a year

She was the sensible friend at school, the one the other mothers loved (and head girl, of course). Now she's the sensible parent, the one with the waterproofs, something to read and a plan B. Catching a train? Always allow PLENTY of time. But now, with her 50th birthday behind her, Charlotte has started to wonder - is it really sensible to be sensible, or has she missed out? Producer: Chris Ledgard
