Somehow this tree had passed me by. Seeing the image in the report of when it was standing it’s easy to see why it was much admired and loved by so many. Utterly moronic to cut it down.

Having met Chen once, I’d hazard a guess that the provenance will be exceptional. That, and the fact that the auctioneer is Sotheby’s, means I’ll be a mere jealous onlooker. I may have found a magnum from a private cellar that would sell for a far more reasonable price. I’m just checking the...

Sounds great. Added to the list; thanks!

Stuff I actively collect, as opposed to accumulate almost accidentally: Wine Works by four specific artists Chess sets & books Split cane fishing rods Stuff I accumulate/can’t resist buying: Kitchen gadgets Wine glasses Fishing gear I actually use (eventually) Hard Sci Fi novels

Number 1 is Peter Ward…

“…it was sort of waving and looking at me.” 😂

Entirely appropriate it’s Dunk on the cover. (y)

Well, quite.

We didn’t pay for 1st. We just sat there because some other buggers took our reserved seating in 2nd. I’d have had a row if challenged, but I wasn’t.

Plenty of room in the front carriages…
