Not Quite Goodbye For One Of Us ........

We had such a wonderful time staying with Hugh for Eurovision at Le Chicken Coop ..........
..... but I always sort of dread the goodbyes when it's time to leave as they can often get a little emotional, what with Hugh being a theatrical and all that. 
But, it was all agreed that it would be a case of same time, same place next year for Eurovision 2020, come what may and as soon as the official dates are announced Hugh will insist othat his PA clears his diary completely   ....... unless, of course, he was asked himself to advise. At the moment he is of the very strong opinion that Robbie Williams should be bought on board with Adele being asked to help co-write the "winning" entry with said Mr Williams.  If Hugh then becomes part of UK Eurovision team in the Netherlands he says he will absolutleyinsist on us all being part of his entourage (Hugh's not Robbie's).  We shall see.........
A few last minutes pictures were insisted upon ..........
......... several, it has to be said, including interlopers .............

However, I could see Darrell start to well up during the morning and then some serious looking conversations going on between Hugh and Darrell followed by Hugh and his "man that does" just as our bags were about to be put in the car.

It was then, at the very last minute Darrell announced that, if it was alright with Nigel and myself, he wouldn't be returning immediately to Evesham with us as Hugh had kindly invited him to stay for a few days in London. Well, who were we to say no, it would mean making a couple of changes to the school/nursery run rota .......... but we could easily sort something out ........
....... but the sight of Hugh's crestfallen face when Nigel teasingly said no ...... well, it was heartbreaking, so it was all settled ........
....... and happy faces all round.
