We were directed to Waterloo and into the Pyd building, home of the massive antique treasure house The Country Trader, where the wealthy and elite were being filtered through several entrances into what looked like the ancestral chateau of a decadent, slightly mad but generous aristocrat. Chandeliers festooned the ceiling and guests were arranged at various antique dining tables and on ancient chairs (mine had a price tag on it that made me flinch). The Country Trader owner, Geoffrey Clark, had brought out the best china, a 200-year-old Limoges dinner service, and on it were suitable delicacies: black-truffle risotto and lobster, scallop and snapper pie. It was the sort of lavish atmosphere designed to inspire matching donations.
