Money for nothing

We start this Friday's blog with the exciting news of Sir Ben's successful auction bid for Mark Knopfler's guitar. The legendary front man from Dire Straits was donating his Stratocaster guitar for an auction conducted by Philip de Pury. This was in aid of Elton John’s AIDS Foundation, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research and Sky Rainforest Rescue.

No doubt Sir Ben will be up to this standard in no time!

If attending auctions was not enough excitement for Sir Ben, he has also been hedging his bets at Ascott this week. In tribute to ladies day, some of our girls modelled some beautiful hats this week.
Fingers crossed for some winners.
