Picture the scene.
11.30am Burnham Beeches car-park, by the pay-and-display machine ……..
I fumble with my two pound coins.
He fumbles with his two dog leads .
I drop one of my coins .
He drops Fido’s coat .
I look up
He looks up
Our eyes meet
I feel a stirring ( him not me )
He asks me if he could show me his Cha Cha Cha .
I rush back to Emerald ,climb in and get my choppers round my cheese,mango chutney and tomato baguette .
He waltzes off
…A brief encounter with Anton Du Beke
I didn’t spot him on Strictly last night .Did you take him hostage ?
I would have thought you would have done a ‘quick step’ back to Emerald!?
Actually I paso dobled ( not easy in walking boots holding a badly folded OS map ) – but i don’t think anyone noticed .
