Her father, Pablo Bedfor, worked at the Spanish consulate, and her mother, Victoria Misselton, half English and half free spirit, had spent her youth between the Cotswolds, a traditional boarding school, and the cloisters of Oxford. It was in London, already immersed in working life, that she met Pablo Bedfor.
