Dinner at Bright Courtyard. VIP guest was the Ambassador of China, Liu Xian Ming. As usual the Chinese cuisine was delicious with six starters which was quite unusual. I did pig out a bit. It is not everyday you celebrate the 48 Club Young Icebreakers' 10th Anniversary.

Invited by Anthony Bush of Bushwood Estate to view his multi million property and not to mention the jaw dropping collection of his antiques. It was a lovely trip and both Grace Bian and I were spoilt rotton being fetched from London to Hertfordshire by his driver. We were even wined and dined at the gourmet restaurant in the Kingshead pub in Ivanhoe, Hertfordshire, supposedly to be the best restaurant in that area with Ronnie Woods of the Rolling Stones living nearby. We were driven back to London with Grace taking me to drinks at the Polo Bar in MayFair.

30th November 2019

Loaned some of necklaces to the singers and pianist at the Magic of Opera performance at St Gabriel's Church, Pimlico, London. The singers who also wore my necklaces at the opera were: Monique Loricchio Klongtruadroke, soprano; Giulia Laudano, Mezzzo-soprano and Zoe Drummond, soprano. Caroline Jaya-Ratnam was the accompanying pianist. After the opera we all adjourned to "Sicily", an Italian restaurant nearby. The food was delicious. Apparently the owner of "Sicily", Roberto, was the person who started Patisserie Valerie which he later sold.
