to garden centers, and playing
cards at weekends.
Jamie says, ‘In my work I travel a lot and I stay
in different hotels, so my perfect weekend is at
home with my family and friends. I live in a flat in
north-west London next to my brother, Ben, and at
weekends I like being with him and my wife,
Sophie. On Friday nights, we often go to a club -
we all love dancing.
On Saturdays, we get up late and I make breakfast;

that’s important to me. Then I sit at my piano - it’s in my
kitchen - and I play for a couple of hours. I don’t write
songs, I just play. My cat Luna, listens. Sometimes in the
afternoon we go shopping in Portobello Market. I love
old things. I have black leather cowboy boots from
there.
Also, I look for old postcards - I like
reading about people from the past. In
the evening, we often watch a French or
Japanese film - I enjoy foreign films.
After that I like playing cards - poker
- with friends, sometimes until early
Sunday morning. We sleep late on
Sundays, but then I like cooking Sunday
dinner, usually roast chicken.
I really enjoy cooking. In the

evening I call my parents and my nan
- they like hearing about my week.

Shilpa says, ‘Here in England my perfect weekend
begins at my home in the countryside with my husband Raj
Kundra. On Fridays, we usually watch TV, but sometimes
friends or family come to play cards - poker. I love poker.
We get a takeaway pizza - pizza goes best with playing
cards - and I drink green tea.
I love green tea.
On Saturdays, I get up late,
at about 10.45, and then I
have a long bath.
Sometimes I watch TV in the bath or listen to
music. I like staying in the country at weekends -
I love walking barefoot on the grass. We go to a
pub for lunch - I like the puddings, especially
sticky toffee pudding.
I prefer to have Saturday evening at home. We
like watching cookery programmes; James Oliver is
my favorite. I like cooking Indian food, but not at
weekends.
On Sundays, I love shopping and gardening. I
always buy my clothes from small boutiques,
and I love visiting
garden centers.
I love flowers.
My homes in Mumbai and England are
always full of beautiful white lilies. I don’t
cook on Sunday, we prefer eating out and
sometimes, if we have time, we go to a spa
hotel for a swim and a massage. It’s a great
way to end a perfect weekend.
