Baroness Maria Von Hackerman was a huge hit with the large Phyllis Court crowd, and thoroughly entertained the audience with a typically uplifting and fun cabaret performance, assisted in no small part to some audience participation from Phyllis Court members Dion and Geoff. Dion impressed the crowd with his conversing with Maria in fluent in German, whilst both he and Geoff amused with their ‘dancing’ under instruction from the Baroness.

Finishing on a festive medley, the Baroness’ performance met with rapturous applause.

Richard Rodway chose a ‘Living Advent Calendar’ hat wearer to draw the raffle prizes kindly donated by Elizabeth Cleall Interiors (festive room aroma) and Breathe Marketing (champagne), who are also kindly responsible for the design of the Living Advent’s programme and posters this year.

Big thanks to Simon Stannard (full-time independent financial advisor with Fox Payne in Caversham, with a flair for photography) for capturing the events of the evening on camera.

Next up, and it's on to the Hotel du Vin for day 8.
