Our trip to London booked months earlier for ROH Magic Flute at Covent Garden with Harry and Diana was one of many highlights. Spent one night with the Colemans in Aberdeen happily to coincide with the weekly recorder lesson Ros gives to my great nephews Jamie and Harry Sayers.

The consultant makes it back in time to give us an excellent dinner.
Walked to Aberdeen Station in time to get the 8am Aberdeen - London train. Hugely enjoyable and extraordinarily inexpensive 1st class jaunt to the metropolis, sitting a few feet ( on other side of the table ) from Dame Judy Dench on the return journey.
Strolled through St James' Park coincidentally to see the changing of the guard and in time to be
royally entertained in the House of Lords members dining room by old pal Wilf Stevenson ( now Lord Stevenson of Balmacara ). Delightful to catch up. Wilf spent a happy holiday with us in Colorado 34 years ago. In fact climbed Longs Peak with him - one of Colorado's famed 14ers when Mary was 3 months pregnant with Meghan!
