Three years ago I flew to India and you can believe me when I tell you that en route I met Saint Patrick ,but, one with a rather 'dirty face' ..
As a lady who seldom drank ,I was soon tippling my G and T with the best .This guy had a way of teaching second to none !
At Delhi airport the two of us had to be asked to disembark the plane as the crew wished to .(Indeed as an encouragement a bottle of finest French wine was given.) All other passengers had gone but, St Pat and I were still engrossed .
Between leaving that flight and the outside world he was to 'rescue' me three times no less. Not from snakes . No,far worse .
a) he was able to get me through immigration in record time by my posing as his fiancee. ( an unlikely scenario)
b) when my luggage went 'walk about' nobody would listen to me . A mere woman I was worthless . They did listen to him .
c) On walking into the meeting hall I had the shock to end all . A ghastly specimen of manhood from my past ,having heard that I was to be in India was there to surprise me .
Only my intake of Gin and St Pat saved me .
This knight from the air was to risk his job by missing his onward flight to Southern India . His reason ...to rescue me from the phantom , take me for dinner and maybe more .
I said yes to the rescue and to the dinner but declined his subtle advances .
He remained charming . My stay in India was not easy and throughout, his emails were to prove as hilarious as it seemed mine proved erotic to him .
It's now 2007 and if my memory serves me well this wicked Patrick is due a birthday. So just want to say "have a good one and thanks wherever you may be."
Accept the photos as a birthday card should you ever get to read this .
Left is in Udaipur ,a place as close to heaven as one can get. Right at home in Berlin .Paradise for fur and so much more !
