Amore in Italia

September-October 2016

When we moved into our flat in Kensal Green, we soon met our 'neighbour' (tenants in the rooms behind ours) Davide, and shortly after that, his lovely girlfriend Flora. It wasn't long before we took turns entertaining each other - dinner parties at ours and bbq's and bonfire nights at theirs. We were devastated when we learnt they were moving out, but before that happened they got engaged!

Billy Joel

September 2016 

Many moons ago I was sitting at work when an email came across my desk with the prospect of attending an event that I had hoped and wished for, but had long-since given up on. The dream that Billy Joel would tour once more to a city I was in. I broke the news to Mike in a flurry of messages and very ‘subtly’ 'hinted' that this would make an excellent birthday present. Thanks to Mike, the dream came true and nearly ten months later we found ourselves in the hallowed grounds of Wembley Stadium.
