Annabel Du Boulay held a very enjoyable book signing of her novel The Serpent’s Tale at a Charity Christmas Fair held at Charlton House in aid of the Libra Foundation (www.librafoundation.org.uk) and ‘A Life for a Cure’ (www.ryanbresnahan.org). There was a private shopping evening on Tues 8 Nov with Champagne, canapes and music by Edward Leaker’s Trio, followed by an all-day shopping extravaganza on Wed 9 Nov. Many congratulations to the hardworking, creative team of women who organised the event, especially the wonderful Jane Bennett, Natalie Breeze and Nikki Della Valle.
