Feedback from In-Person Events:
"He was fantastic. Clearly worked incredibly hard over the weekend to put bits together – had written it all out by hand!! I think he was a bit nervous in never having done it on zoom and only having been to one other school. But he was great. The kids loved him and lots of positive feedback from the evening. And of course, he is just lovely!! Thank you!!" - Jo, Hill House School
"It was amazing!! Peter is such a lovely man, whose speech went down really well with the guests. Peter and his wife Lin stayed for the whole duration and nearly all our guests got to speak to them both and take photos." - Newsham Grange
