Petra Wenham sits neatly in a pretty white blouse, denim skirt and perfect mauve nails. She has youthful skin and smooth, bare legs.
She is 74 years old but could pass for 15 years younger and glows with pride as she recounts the events of the past few weeks.
Not just the news coverage and endless requests for interviews, but also the myriad wishes of goodwill from the small Suffolk village where she lives with Loraine, her wife of 48 years, and also further afield, on social media platforms from all around.
And all caused by her star turn as cover girl on the latest issue of Women s Institute Life magazine.
