I’m an enormous fan of the Honour Awards. We all know I love fundraising gala. After all, those auctions are where I do my best work. I come home from these things with opera tickets, holidays and strands of pearls, and they are all such a steal it’s like I’m making money. Better than that, instead of feeling a guilty sense of ‘buyer’s remorse’, I am filled with the warm glow of actually doing something good!
