Moorhouse Inn, Leeds

Trixie.

Jacq Sate and dear Trixie came in at 9pm followed by Rob and his minder. We congregated in the lounge. Trixie looks much the same. She has quit the BBC because they have migrated from the Alexandra Palace to Milton Keynes. She continues to drink pints of bitter, but this no longer looks outrageous like it did in the sheltered genteel days of 1977. Rob left at 10:20 - and in the quiet of the night we had more pints and gave Jacq and her mama a guided tour and went upstairs to listen to records ~ Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Boy George, &c. Trixie says that the Queen will abdicate and that Charles will be Britain's last sovereign. I told her not. We discussed death. Poor Pete Holroyd croaked on a Lancashire golf course on the very day I met Jacq in San Antonio.__________. How hospitable we are.
