BP PORTRAIT AWARD 2009 – DINNER
June 20th, 2009
Anne and me were invited to the BP Awards and ceremony on Tuesday night. It certainly brought back memories of shaking knees and jelly joints 3 years earlier. My artist friend Mike Gaskell was shortlisted to the last 3 for his absolutely beautiful and sensitive portrait of his son Tom. Unfortunately he came second …for the second time !! and I really had him down as this years winner. The author Sebastian Faulks was this years guest presenter and I believe he is currently writing a new Bond book.
It was a lovely dinner though, nice champers to start with and a very tasty lamb dinner complete with desert wine which is always a good thing.
