Dinner at Goldingtons

Last night we went to Chorleywood, a pleasant half-hour train ride from Marylebone Station.

We were invited to a dinner party by Laurel Powers-Freeling and her husband Anthony Freeling at their house, Goldingtons. It was a totally Masterpiece Theatre evening. The house is gorgeous all by itself and the decoration and landscaping that Laurel and Anthony have done has made it even more lovely. The view of the countryside was fantastic (see photo). It was a welcome change from the chaos of London, we loved it.

Some of the other guests included harpsichordists Skip Sempe (see photo), Carole Cerasi and James Johnstone. You know me, I'm always happy when I meet people whose cd's are on my shelves and this was particularly fun. It was a very harpsichordish evening!

Laurel and Anthony are wonderful hosts, dinner was delicious and the whole evening was fabulous and fun. Thank you, Laurel and Anthony!

Oh that all looks lovely. I'll have to look into Skip Sempé as I do love the harpsichord.
