MEET MY BRUV

My brother Dan came to visit this week and so I thought I should introduce him to you. He lives on a luxury yacht (only £25 million!) in Italy working as a personal Chef (tough for some - eh!). In the past he has worked for people like Gordon Ramsey at the Aubergine in Chelsea as well as cooking meals for the very rich and famous all around the world. Just now he has been given a month off to travel to Japan for some cooking lessons, all paid for by his present employer! So he decided it was an opportunity to visit various members of the family.

First stop was my sister Liz in Hourtin Plage on the south west coast of France. She has just had a baby boy called Samson on 13th February while Dan was visiting, so he was able to offer babysitting service for Liz & Leon's older boy Rosh. Thinking he would have some respite he travelled to see us on the 15th but then realised with 3 children Uncle Dan would be even busier! So after cooking an incredible fish pie and playing Monopoly non stop for two days he has moved onto Bournemouth to visit our parents. Next is a brief stay with my brother Mark and his family (who conveniently live near Heathrow) before flying out to see his Italian girlfriend Mara in the States before travelling onto Japan for a spot of Home Economics - Japanese style!

I've just read this through and realised that I have become my Dad writing his Christmas Newsletter - HELP!!!! Anyway thanks Dan for coming to stay - we loved having you.

Doesn't Dan look like you in the photo? You could say there is a strong SIM-ilarity!
