The late Miss Cartland was a great inspiration, particularly when it came to coordinating her outfits, she always had matching fur stole and dog. She was a great stickler for tradition in all areas of life, and I follow her example both in my table decorations and long winceyette nighties. She knew how to wear pink and as you can see, was a dab hand at putting on her makeup in the back of the Rolls on her way to a photoshoot. Delightfully mad and a prolific writer, one wonders if she were still with us, would she have been a blogger?
Penelope Keith as either Margo Ledbetter in "The Good Life" or Audrey Fforbes-Hamilton in "To the Manor Born", or indeed just as herself, conveys the essence of Daphne. Or rather, what Daphne would like to be. She empathized enormously with the impoverished Audrey, a photo of whose eventual marriage to millionnaire businessman Richard De Vere she keeps in her wallet as a reminder that her ship may come in one day. She secretly practices announcing herself with "Daphne, Graefin von Fuchs-Langezeit zu Neanderthal, Guten Tag".
