| North-East Regional Chairman, Joanna Koch opened her heart, house and lovely garden with the awesome view over the lake of Zürich to the BRA and friends for the traditional scones and strawberry tea. There were not so many people as last year but it gave us an opportunity to have longer interesting talks and the chance to get to know each other a bit better. Harry Pollak entertained us by reading some hysterically funny stories from his new manuscript. We could hardly stop laughing. Incidentally google “Harry Pollak” on the Internet to find out about the “man who saved Aston Martin”. That’s another interesting story. It should be mentioned that BRA member Ernestine Nicolussi Smyth’s book is now available in English; google “Ernestine Nicolussi Aristocrash”. If you are interested you can order a copy from Ernestine directly at Hertensteinstrasse 5, 5408 Ennetbaden or e-mail: ernestinens@swissonline.ch Thanks again Joanna and all her helpers for organising this enjoyable annual event. |
