Claudia continues her work for Breast Cancer Care

Hi,

Last week I was a guest at a leadership dinner at the Hotel InterContinental in Park Lane, London.

This is an annual event in its first year that aims to provide stimulating conversation and an insight into the ways of a great leader whilst also raising money for Breast Cancer Care.

As a volunteer for Breast Cancer Care, I'm always pleased to support events like these. I met some interesting people and had a great time. Afterwards I meet some friends for a knees-up at a club that is frequented by Prince Harry.

I felt 101-years-old and laughed at myself for thinking the music was too loud and the girls in the club were 'far too young to be out so late' - surely a sign that I'm getting older.

Also, we had marvellous news this week as Zak our 10-year-old son passed his 11+ exams which allows him to go to Grammar School. He has worked so hard and we are so proud of him. 

I promised myself I'd be restrained when he told us the results but I couldn't help myself and promptly blubbered all over him, kissing and squeezing him.

"Alright Mum, that's enough now" he said. I'm so proud but boy, the stress was intense and I'm glad the whole thing is over now.

I'll be in touch soon.

Love Claudia X

I recall our eldest son passing the 11plus. What a day The first person in our extended family to do such a thing. It couldn`t have been more exciting news if he`d passed for Oxford. The our daughter passed Well it was a lovely day all around. Kisses & hugs.Ugh. !!!!

Thats lovely! Wow 11+ 48 years ago... i've got to do it all over again with Isabella and Blake. I thought it might be less intense the 2nd or 3rd time round but other parents at the school tell me otherwise! I think this whole pressure on young children is just a little too much myself. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
Love
Claudia
