Last week, Robert O’Brien and two of his old school friends from Manchester (or thereabouts) gathered in the Cellar Bar along with the brilliant Miss Maria Bramble (the future Mrs. O’Brien), the inimitable Mr. Donald Renouf (aka Donocle the Monocle), and myself.
A good time was had by all, and I even got to try on the legendary monocle. A bit tricky trying to keep a monocle in one’s eye. Donald has had it for years, so is much more used to it.
Hey – I was chatting to a friend about school days in Penrith and reminiscing about certain people we’ve lost touch with. One of which was Donald Renouf. I did a quick google search and one of the only results was on your blog. I wondered if you were still in touch with him and if so if you’d ask his permission to share his contact details so I can reconnect with him.
