Then this PM was kindly picked up by another ex-colleague (well, friend really) and a walk in Regents College (where he works since he was made redundant when I was). Well, the superb gardens actually in West Malvern and saw Baden-Powell's hut where he escaped to - certainly peaceful and quiet there.
And, of course, the inevitable cup of tea - but no cake today! Thanks very much - really appreciated!
Cheers - It was good to get out for a while and see somewhere other than the local shops!
Thanks both - I won't name names but most ex-colleagues will guess who they are!
