Donny and Arabella at home

Donny and Arabella very cleverly decided to spend their summer break at the Mount House in Kent with Donnies vibrant, well-mannered and exuberant son Achie. As is usual with the Don-meister food and liberal amounts of drink are the order of the day (every day) and day one when I arrived back from Nice started with a bar-bar-que and champagne. The mould was hence set for continues grazing while lounging in the garden with unbounded hedonism creeping up and taking over. This could be a tough 3 weeks. The nadir for this debilitating period will be the annual summer party in the gardens on the 13th of August. Preperations are well under way with a trip to Calais yesterday to buy champagne and wine.
