As I mentioned back in June, I recently had the opportunity of a lifetime, where my Aunt, sister and I attended a fundraiser for the East Anglia Children’s Hospice with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. It was a small, intimate, affair with 80 people in attendance for dinner at Houghton Hall in Norfolk, England.
I also promised as soon as I had official photos to share, I would pass them along. The Taste of Norfolk committee also shared a video of the event.
It was truly a fabulous evening where I was able to put into practice all that we teach in our classes: basic conversation skills, formal introductions, shaking hands, formal continental dining rules, formal dinner conversation rules, and the list goes on.
I hope you enjoy the photos and the video.
