A day late in posting…fabulous #NewYearsDay walk with @Julesp71 and 2/3 of our boys on the #Hermanus Cliff Path…14km up to Grotto Beach and back, with a bracing swim at Kammabaai Beach. Stunning scenery under a deep blue sky… #HappyNewYear to all! 🇿🇦🇬🇧

#RIPWilburSmith , my favourite author as a boy. This is my most reread book ever. I first read it when I was 14. I last read it this summer when I (re)bought it along with the Sound of Thunder & A Sparrow Falls at @Camillas_Books in Eastbourne just before moving to 🇿🇦 #epic

Brian McIntyre has supported our IT systems @UKinNewYork @UKUN_NewYork for 24+ years. We could not have worked through #Covid without him. It was a pleasure & a privilege to present him with the British Empire Medal conferred upon him by HM The Queen #BirthdayHonoursList 2020

Another cracker from @TheRestHistory , this time it’s @holland_tom and @dcsandbrook with Ali Ansari and how backgammon, high heels, paradise, spaghetti and, indeed, the modern British civil service derive from Persian traditions. Wonderful.
