The sandwiches arrived and Robin requested a glass of water.
Wow, what a week. By chance a friend spotted an evening of poetry & chamber music with Bill Nighy - quick decision needed only a few tickets remaining. We then found out Tom was going to be there. He spotted us from the stage, smiled & spent 30 mins chatting with us
