6 December 2009

Whilst I was writing my blog today I received a telephone call from Dubai and my dear friends the Brinton’s – Jeremy and Susie. They were barbecuing with two other friends of mine, Roger Goodwin and Paul Newman, having spent the last three days at the Dubai Sevens. As I had been to this event for six years (only missing last December) and stayed with the Brinton’s, I must confess to a twinge of envy at not being with them. How kind of them to spare me a thought and raise a glass to their ‘Ronnie Biggs’ lookalike!
