a Rushed lunch that wasn't

(tt) The cast, minus the gorgeous Hornery, gathered Chez Rush at their home in the leafy suburbs for a luncheon au plein air.

The garden is a series of outdoor rooms maintained expertly by Ms Menelaus. The snags were tossed about by Mr Rush. Cakes were by Madame Madeleine's patisserie in the leafy suburb and the guests were hand picked. Rain was intermittent and never an intrusion.

My new volleys which of course will never look as good as this again

I wanted no posed groupings but these are actors!

That's Patrick Brammall and his beautiful partner, Sam.  Those blips are rain.

Toby Schmitz and his partner, Elly.

Another bosky dell.

My tribute to the credits of the film of "My Fair Lady"

The right honourable Henslow, who is recovering from a bit of a battle. If he likes you he leans up against you. I have been leaned twice.

Another chance at an un-noticed grouping is dashed.
