===Education=== Lawson spent some of her childhood in the Welsh village of [[Higher Kinnerton]]. She had to move schools nine times between the ages of 9 and 18; consequently, she described her school years as difficult. "I was just difficult, disruptive, good at school work, but rude, I suspect, and too highly-strung", Lawson reflected.<ref name="sweetandsour">Jones, Chris.
