A DAY IN THE LIFE OF...
CAROL-ANN LE BOUTILLIER ASSOCIATE LAWYER, HATSTONES
08.00 a.m. First cup of tea of the day, closely followed by a second and third. I always check my e-mails on the way to work. This is a particularly bad habit of mine (which I am trying to stop) but I hate surprises and part of me would rather know, before getting into the office, what my first priority that morning is going to be.
