Irene Grant (left) head of HSBC Corporate in Scotland is wearing a stunning red blouse. Last time I saw her at lunch she'd just come from dropping her son off at school for the first time - although she might have found it a more fraught experience than he did! Next to her is Fiona Riddell, PR woman extraordinaire for property agents King Sturge. And she's a pretty good skiier too. Tall, graceful Sadaf Din of solicitors Anderson Strathern is next to her. She was the first to join my elite group of donors, the 100 in for 100. Bless her heart! And next to her is the lovely woman from Radisson SAS.
