Meeting. The Indiscreet Revelations of a Tour Guide

Susan was a cook on a yacht in the Mediterranean in the 60s when she met Brigitte Bardot’s ex-husband Gunter Sachs and went to cook for him and his celebrity guests in his chalet in St Moritz.

In the early 70s Susan worked for Sir John Betjeman, soon to become Poet Laureate. She stood in for his long-standing PA for a year and met his famous teddy bear, Archie.

Susan then worked for the British Tourist Authority, organising and escorting groups of foreign journalists around the country. She went on to work for the British Council, welcoming foreign students to London.
