Coffee

On Friday morning I attended a coffee at the British Ambassador's Residence.  This is all part of my plan to become friends with the Duchess of Luxembourg.  Ha!
Jeremy took a picture of me on my way out as I hoped I was dressed properly enough (I was).  

Arriving at the British Ambassador's house, I rang the buzzer at the gate and was greeted in French by the butler.  That was kinda weird... I really thought I would hear a British accent at this point.  He escorted me upstairs into the drawing room.  I wish I could have taken a few photos.  If you have seen classic British interiors, it was right on par with gold tone floral wallpaper and drapes to match.  

Hosted by the British Ladies Club of Luxembourg, the coffee was a fundraiser benefitting a cancer foundation.  About 40 ladies were there and all very friendly.  Most of the Ladies (that I spoke to) were British, but not exclusively. I did not meet the Ambassador's wife, as she was unable to attend the event.  So, I will have to work on getting invited back :)
