Alice Trewinnard’s Ten Summer Commandments

The ten summer commandments of influencer and businesswoman Alice Trewinnard.

When I go on holiday, I immediately ditch...

The alarm clock!

If I could head to a desert island, I’d take...

Sun cream, water and wi-fi. I’m not quite that self-sufficient yet [laughs].

On holiday, my phone is always...

In “Do Not Disturb” mode.

This year I’m going to read...

More than two chapters - if my children allow it.

My soundtrack for this summer will be...

The sound of the sea and my children’s laughter, I hope!

What annoys me most on holiday is...

Having to explain that “I’m on holiday” doesn’t mean “I’m available”.

Summer romances are like...

Ours! We’ve already had 14 summers together.

On holiday I always try to eat...

I don’t try - I just do. A Bola de Berlim with custard, straight after a dip in the sea.

If work calls me...

I don’t answer. A holiday is a holiday!

A summer I’ll never forget is...

2011 - the year I met my current husband [Pedro Vasconcelos].
