The first Photos are of the British Embassy in Kuwait on Thursday May 3rd 2001.

It was the May Ball and Rhona was invited because she was the Manageress of Miss Selfridge

I was just her guest!!!

 

Here's a dinner party just for two in our apartment in Kuwait

 

Shortly after the Embassy Ball, after much persuasion at the British Embassy in Kuwait, we managed to get Rhona a visa for the UK.  I had a meeting with Circle UK in Brighton, so of course we stayed in the Grand (and as luck would have it, upgraded to a suite!!)

 

Miss Selfridge AT Miss Selfridge

We were so excited to go there, we did all the London sights....

 

 

and bars...

Then to Lynton in Devon

later on in the autumn, after I was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney disease and an aneurysm on the brain, we visited London to consult specialists,

 

but of course we went to Wales as well...

and The Cotswolds

and Newquay (in the Lotus Esprit of course)

and a quick stop in our favourite place, Lynton Cottage Hotel before going back to the Airport the next day
