From Movie Premiere to Buckingham Palace - And the Big News I've Been Keeping Secret
Last week I told you I was keeping something secret. It's the reason I spent four exhausting days learning to drive a lorry. This week I can finally share with you: we have a horsebox. A 7½ ton lorry with a living in it. And of all the weeks to reveal it on, this one was something else.
We kicked it off with a date night in London, the movie premiere of Glenrothan, a beautiful film set in the Scottish Highlands that had me rather tearful.
Then back to London the next day for lunch at the Chelsea Arts Club, I can now tell you I'm a Chelsea Art Society ambassador and from there, a deeply special morning at the King's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, for a private tour of Her life in style, the Queen Elizabeth II wardrobe exhibition.
The exhibition is personal to me in a way I hadn't quite anticipated. My mother had a wonderful friend, Maureen Rose, who worked for Norman Hartnell and was part of the team that created the coronation gown parts of the embroidering sown by herself. I spent years sewing with Maureen, and to stand in front of that gown knowing that connection was quite something. It is a phenomenal exhibition and I would urge you to book a ticket. It runs until October; tickets are currently sold out through June but there is availability from then, and I believe it can also be viewed virtually, link in the description below.
It was that kind of week. I hope you enjoy watching.
