| The Masters’ & Clerks’ Luncheon at Farmers and Fletchers’ Hall |
Today I attended a Luncheon for Masters and Clerks at
Farmers and Fletchers Hall, kindly hosted by The Worshipful Company of Farmers.
It is a characteristic of the Farmers’ Company that the food that they offer
should be seasonal and locally sourced, and so it was today – with Dorset crab, Venison and Caramelised Cox’s Apples featuring in a wonderful menu. The Guest
Speaker, Jonathan Gill, gave an excellent address on the topic: “Hands Free Hectare
Leads to Hands Free Farm.” The Lunch was rounded off with a beautiful Scottish
ballad, sung solo.

| The Master and Stephen Fletcher, Deputy Chief Executive of Arbuthnot Latham, at the Reception held by The Guild of St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital |
The evening found me back again in the Smithfield/Clerkenwell area, as I attended a Reception entitled “Marvels of Nature“
organised by The Guild of St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital. The Reception was
held at The Museum of The Order of St John at St John’s Gate, Clerkenwell.
It was fascinating to learn about the history of The Order
and its settlement in Jerusalem, Rhodes and later in Malta, and also about the
excellent work that it does today through their eye hospitals in Jerusalem and
in Palestine.
