On the evening of the 21st June 2024 Vik came over to mine for dinner in Twickenham West London with me and my girls Scarlett and Lily. I made vegan byond meat burgers with vegan bacon. I know that Vik isn’t a big fan of vegan food but she really liked them. Which made me so happy. When Scarlett and Lily had gone to bed we sat drinking wine in my front room catching up, laughing, listening and singing along to our favourite songs from our teenage years including counting crows ‘round here’, ‘Mr Jones’, Live ‘I alone’ and red hot chilli pepper ‘under the bridge’. It felt like such a special evening at the time.
That was our last night.
We’ve had so many fun evenings together over the nearly 40 years we've known each other but this one I will never forget. My one regret was I didn’t take any photos or videos.
