What a lovely afternoon - met Robert at Green Park and then went to the Rotary Club of London Burns' lunch - haggis, neeps and tatties as well as great company, a piper, a Scottish singer from the English National Opera, a Scottish dancer and a good atmosphere. It meant that I was in the office for 7:30 but was worth it. Robert and I walked along from Green Park through Piccadilly and up Regent Street. We had a coffee in the comfort of Caffe Nero and then had a wander through John Lewis before coming home.

Had a lovely relaxed evening and looking forward to the rest of the week. Was thinking of how much we take for granted around us today and took some photos - Gordon McInally was a speaker at the Club today - he came down specially from Edinburgh and returned for another Rotary evening Burns' event! Was good to catch up with Gordon - who fits in his dental practise between - there are really dedicated people keeping the Rotary wheel turning. Cyril Halstead, a Salvationist, was there today and he works tirelessly for the Club - he has served God through the Army for many years - God Bless such good people.
