Encounters with celebrities

No, never. I don't move in the right circles.
My DD once spent a train journey chatting to Jason Orange from Take That.

I had a relatively long conversation with Jay Blades when we were both at a trade show.
I thought he was someone else who I knew a bit through a related organisation.... I must have asked all the "right" questions as we chatted away for maybe 10 mins. He said, "so where did we meet before?" and I said - oh at xyz and he said - "of course it must have been, I was there on day 2"

Ha ha!

Apart from people in the public eye that we know as we were going into the Savoy Hotel, London One Direction were coming out.

In another London Hotel Tony Hadley was checking out at the same time as us.

In the Rainforest Cafe (London) Paul Young and his family were on the next table and our children ended up playing together.

We have met many Chefs over the years as DH loves fine dining including Alain Roux, Raymond Blanc, Galton Blackiston, Brian Turner and some who’s names I have forgotten.

I am aways respectful of their privacy as we have been out with our in the public eye friends and although they are always polite, have a selfie etc there are times when they just want a wine/pint and a curry in peace and quiet.
