London

Friday night saw us back in London and staying with Andre (Ron's school friend) and Anna. After a few beers at the local "The Oaks" we headed back for a great dinner cooked by Anna. Andre's son, Spencer was there, now a father of three. Ron is apparently his Godfather but no one is really sure for certain. Never the less Spencer took the opportunity to harangue Ron about the lack of Birthday and Xmas cards as well as spiritual and moral guidance. Chris another of Ron's schools friends was also there in fine form as normal - a great night.

Anna and grandson Arthur

Saturday lunch we headed off with Sal, Chris, Iggy and Arthur for a Chinese lunch in Putney. It was very fine chinese food. We missed their party the night before. It was another sunglasses day for a few of us.

Vatersay Pty Ltd, rumours of a take over

Ssh!! on the quiet, a large London QS firm has made an approach to Vatersay P/L to discuss a takeover so they can get a foot hold in Australia. High level secret negotiations are underway and I can't say too much but watch this space. We don't think they have realised that Byron Bay is only a small country town but I think they were impressed with our business card.
