A hugely enjoyable session with the magnificent John Osman, one of the very finest BBC foreign correspondents of all time, and my particular hero. The hospice agreed we could each have a gin & tonic though it was only 11a.m.

True friendship defined as ‘when everyone feels it’s ok to break some rules.’ Cheers

Good on you. My last drink with Mark in hospital was a g & t, behind curtains like at school
