Pippa Middleton at Cheltenham Races

How does she find the time to write her cookery column for Waitrose magazine, that's what people will be asking.

Pippa Middleton hit the Cheltenham races in England today, just days after she was photographed kissing her new boyfriend Nico Jackson on the Alpine ski slopes.

But she wasn't with Nico today. Insead there was another male friend, investment banker Tom Kingston, an old pal, to escort her.

Pippa wore oversized shades, a Russian-style fur hat and an eye catching yellow coat from Katherine Hooker, a firm favourite of her sister Kate.
