Every August, we hold out annual fund raising garden party. This year, we took the opportunity to celebrate the life of the Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock and Roll. A survivor of abuse, she rebuilt her solo career, performing in low profile venues, until the release of the Private Dancer album in 1983. Always an inspiration, she once said if you just stand up and go, life will open up for you. She also said that there’s no rule which says you cannot wear a mini dress in your late 40s and some of us took that advice to heart, despite the torrential rain which turned the garden party into an indoor event. A great evening of fun and friendship.
