I had such a fabulous day in London last Thursday, 28th June.
I headed to the Charlotte Street Hotel where we had a private room for lunch hosted by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson. There were 9 of us in total, including Hugh Chambers, the Chief Commercial Officer with the British Olympic Association and Sue Tibballs, the Chief Executive of Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation. Also in our party were 2 other fellow Secret Millionaires, Lyn Cecil and Simrin Choudhrie.
Tanni Grey-Thompson is an extremely inspirational lady who has won 11 Paralympic Gold Medals and we met to discuss the ongoing support and promotion of Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation (www.wsff.org.uk) .
The Foundation’s aim is to create a nation of active women; from dancing in the living room to celebrating gold.
The charity campaigns to make physical activity an everyday part of life for women and girls.
Why? Because being active gives us energy, gives us confidence and helps us to achieve our personal best and to stay healthy in mind, body and soul. This also inspires others to do the same.
We are meeting again soon to see how the Sue Stone Foundation can get further involved.
After lunch I went to Camden Town to meet another fellow Secret Millionaire, Carol Hayes, who is Gok Wan’s agent.
Carol Hayes is a very successful lady and we shared stories and experiences relating to our undercover filming. We both agreed we felt privileged to have been asked to take part in the Channel 4 programme and that the whole series of Secret Millionaire is a fabulous way of raising awareness of so many great causes and unsung heroes.
After I left Carol I wandered back to the underground. Camden Town was buzzing and it was a beautifully warm day. I truly love embracing the whole essence of London.
I arrived in South Kensington and had an hour to chill until Natz arrived, so I found myself a bar with tables outside and sat with a chilled glass of wine and my usual glass of water and watched the world go by!
Natz, who was being beautifully chauffered by Ben to meet me, had spent 2 hours stuck in traffic on the M3 but arrived just in time for us both to get changed. At 6.30 we arrived at the Collection Lounge Bar in Chelsea for the exclusive launch party of Welch Morgan Locations set up by Denise Welch and Gaynor Morgan.
I was invited by Denise Welch who I am delighted to say is a great fan of my book Love Life, Live Life and continues to profess how much it has helped her understand and deal with her negative thoughts. Thanks Denise!
I really like Denise and find her to be very honest and open and she is certainly giving her life new positive direction.
We enjoyed a fabulous champagne reception, beautiful canapes and great entertainment 
from Lincoln Townley’s many talented artists. One man turned up in a suit, blew a balloon up and got inside it!!
All the acts were quite unique!
We met some wonderful people and a great time was had by all. I wish Denise and Gaynor every success with their new business venture. www.welchmorganlocations.com
