@CheltonianSoc Twelve times a day - even more if it was raining. What memories!

@CheltonianSoc I played rugby for College on that very field and put on a lot of weight in that very dining hall.

@CheltonianSoc @JamieChadwick I was at college with one of the Chadwicks in the 1950s. Any relation?

@CheltonianSoc I wish I could be there! I left College in 1959.

[I. James Sarfeh @ijsarfeh]

@ChristoweCC I give up!

[I. James Sarfeh @ijsarfeh]

@CheltonianSoc I’m still here!

Spent a wonderful week in London, U.K. Only negative was the cold rainy weather. Hyde Park, usually bustling with people, prams and puppies, was almost deserted.

This beautiful creature, a praying mantis, lives in my garden. I guess I love all creatures great and small.

Ran into Ian Pugh (Christowe 1955-60) a while back. He's an incredibly successful businessperson. Here's what he asked me before saying hello:
