Nadia turns Fifty

Wrenfold House, the Cotswolds

Fifty years of Nadia

Three cities, two careers, one famous laugh and a guest list that kept on growing. Scroll along with us.

1977

Born in Bristol, fashionably late

She arrived two weeks after her due date and has been making an entrance ever since. Her first guest list was drawn in crayon.

London and the Sunday suppers

One tiny flat, a borrowed table and friends who came for dinner and stayed for twenty years.

Friends deep in conversation, glasses in hand
2014

Lisbon, then home again

Five years by the river, a second language and a habit of toasting everything, Tuesdays included.

The napkin plan

Over a very long lunch she sketched this weekend on a napkin: a country house, a long table and everyone she loves.

The evening

Saturday, June 12, 2027. Welcome drinks on Friday and a slow brunch on Sunday frame the weekend, and Saturday night is the main event.

  1. Champagne on the lawn

    Cars leave the village green at 5:30 pm. Coats off, glasses up.

  2. Toasts under the lights

    Two short speeches, timed by her sister with a kitchen timer and zero mercy.

  3. Dinner at the long table

    Four courses on the terrace as the sun goes down, with wines chosen by Nadia herself.

  4. Cake and confetti

    Fifty candles, one wish and a round of applause for the baker.

  5. Dancing until late

    The band plays in the orangery until 1:00 am. The last car back to the village leaves at 1:30 am.
