An honoured guest

We had a party this weekend, inviting our friends over to the boat (more pictures later), and we were honoured to be visited by Margaret, who has known Nick since he was born and is a very long time friend of the family. She is partially responsible for me getting into sailing, having put Dad and I in touch with her friends at the Royal Northumberland Yacht Club back in the 80's.

She is also one of the most amazing women we know. Now over 90, she drove down from Durham to Cambridge to stay the night, en-route to an annual engagement singing at the Albert Hall. Margaret has been a chorister as long as we have known her and shows no sign of letting her advancing years (and a touch of deafness) get in the way of that. She is also reknownd for adventurous holidays, and tells me that she has booked a cruise in the Caribbean in November - she says that a normal cruise would be boring but this one visits the Orinoco and Angel Falls so is much better!

Here's to you, Margaret, and many more years of adventuring and entertaining.
