The Norfolk Club in Norwich hosted a dinner to celebrate Sarah Leicester s successful year as High Sheriff of Norfolk, which I attended last week. The history and tradition of this office goes back hundreds of years. It is an honorary position, yet entails a huge commitment from the High Sheriff, in terms of public service as well as traditional roles . Lady Leicester gave a wonderful speech, she is a very good looking woman who oozes real charm and intelligence from every pore. I imagine that she really enjoyed her year, and will be followed by another able woman Lady Dannat. I sat for part of the evening next to a splendid cleric, he was not called Friar Tuck but he did enjoy the very good dinner and looking magnificent in his scarlet robes ( which means the Queen has made him a member of the Royal collection of priests ). On my other side was my father s 91 year old cousin, so a very happy evening.
