So she went to St Martin's and - her own description - discovered paradise. "My father didn't know anything about art," she said later, "but made sure I had a roof over my head and food, so I was free to work." In truth, it was work and play. "I can't believe how insouciant we all were," she said. During the war years she would meet other painters like Lucian Freud and John Minton at the Mandrake or the Gargoyle club, or at the Colony Club in Soho, a favourite watering hole of Francis Bacon and the subject of a famous painting by Michael Andrews.
