This is a talk in two parts based on a river journey from St Petersburg to Moscow. Part 1 takes in the Palaces and Treasures of St Petersburg and a brief history of the Tsars, including Peter the Great and Empress Catherine the Great. It includes a visit to the famous Hermitage Museum (in the Winter Palace) and Catherine Palace ( the Summer palace) with all the wonderful treasures within. Plenty of beautiful pictures accompanied by interesting stories. A light hearted and colourful view of St Petersburg, the cultural heart of Russia.

I was brought up in India soon after the end of the British Raj, which my great great grandmother lived through. Her autobiography is the subject of one of my talks. I trained as a Fashion designer in the USA and subsequently opened a boutique in Surrey, raising substantial funds for various charitable causes. A Passion for Fashion' is my second talk. As a young family we bought and restored a ruin in rural France...talk number three. Talks four and five are based on a river trip from St Petersburg to Moscow. I am the author of two books and have had a very interesting life. I love sharing all the unusual stories I have accumulated over the years.
