Thank God for Michael Idato

We were very disappointed this weekend when the fireworks display we were hoping to attend, in nearby Winchelsea,  was cancelled due to expected rain, that never fell. After phone calls to the other two families we were going with, we all adjourned to the various armchairs and fireplaces in our own homes. What joy, then to greet Michael Idato at Hastings train station on Sunday morning, fresh from Sydney via LA and Cannon Street station. Michael and I worked together for years at the Herald, where for a period I was actually Michael's boss, a term I use in the loosest possible sense. We spent a very happy afternoon at Dragon, being treated to lunch by Michael, followed by a side trip to the gelato shop before heading home to the fire.

Also, here's a photo of Flo, taken by Scarlett, which I love. It's very rare to see Flo smile so naturally and I think she looks gorgeous.
