pring has sprung and I got to enjoy this glorious weather
at one of the country’s finest estates. I was honoured to
be invited to a charity lunch and auction at Waddeston
Manor which was hosted by Lord Rothschild. Waddesdon
Manor is managed by the Rothschild Foundation, a family
charitable trust. Its home to the Rothschild Collections of
paintings sculpture and decorative art. The day included a
private tour of some of these collections but in true Mum life
style I missed the whole thing as I had to dash off to be on
time for the school pick up! Luckily, I still managed to mingle
with some fabulous people, eat some delicious food and take
part in a charity auction with the most incredible ‘money can’t
buy’ experiences.
It was all for a fantastic cause - The Lady Garden
Foundation, founded by a group of women including Tamara
Beckwith and Jenny Halpern Prince. Caroline Clarry is involved
in the charity and also the owner of Peach Ribbons. They do
the best children’s bows in a huge range of colours. I have
bought many bows and I think these are by far the best for
quality and range of colours. The organza and velvet ones are
especially gorgeous.
