In this episode, we explore the intricacies of hosting guests during the holiday season, sharing insights on creating an elegant and memorable experience.

As someone who values meticulous preparation, I find joy in readying guest rooms to make visitors feel genuinely welcomed. Knowing my guests' preferences, from favourite flowers to bath toiletries, adds a personal touch that enhances their stay. Preparation, I believe, is key – a sentiment encapsulated in the Percy Institute's five P's: "Prior preparation prevents poor performance.

Elegance, to me, is an attitude reflected in every detail, be it decor choices or menu planning. I discuss the importance of striking a balance between tradition and personal style, offering practical tips on handling unexpected situations with poise and graciousness. Entertaining is an art that requires organisation, simplicity, and, above all, being oneself.

It is laid in Salem, when that city was still a port rich with the traffic of the East Indies; a story of choleric ship masters, charming girls, and an aristocratic Manchu woman in carmine and jades and crusted gold. There is a drama as secret and poisonous as opium, lovely old gardens with lilac trees and green lattices, and elm-shaded streets ending at the harbor with the brigs unloading ivory from Africa and the ships crowding on their topsails for Canton. It is a romantic novel-and yet true-rather than a study of drab manners; there is no purpose in it other than the pleasure to be found in the spectacle of life supported by high courage and made beautiful by women in peacock shawls.
