Did a thing I don’t normally this evening – I was MC at a charity event – choridee to you and I ? – it was an actual Black Tie night out and they are rarer than hens’ teeth at the moment. BUT this was in Cork and THE RULES ARE DIFFEENT HERE. There was a lovely generosity in the place form the outset and a feeling that everyone wanted a good night out – and I think they got it while doing good (no reason why you can’t have it all and I mean that). The charity to benefit was and is Cork Simon Community who help the homeless. Story of the night for me was the Chairman telling the tale of how the powerhouse woman who runs the day-to-day operations phoned him last December after a particularly hard and cold and frightful night and said ‘last night no one was homeless in Cork’. WAY TO GO.
Also met SO many good people just now – people who should be afraid of me cos I have their numbers and I WILL stay in touch…yes, Cork and it’s population are that worth it…
