Wednesday 23rd<\/sup> June 2010<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry. I promised to be back on Monday with the latest from Menton. But there have been distractions and agony. I\u2019m trying to raise money. Unspeakable.<\/p>\n

And then, on Monday, the Multis offered up their wrap-around terrace (2000 square feet if it\u2019s a day) as a viewing platform for the midsummer sunset. Virgil Grayson, architect of\u00a0 international reputation, Bruce MacBain, my own architect, Marcus Coleman, England\u2019s leading clock-mender, Prince Dmitri Hersov and Tancredo Viamare, partner of Bruce MacBain, were present at the dinner.<\/p>\n

The Blond Multi in particular craves the grandeur of the open sky. \u2018Can we see it?\u00a0 Is it happening yet?\u2019 he kept saying as the hour approached. It was the first of the fine days we\u2019re now having. From 8 o\u2019clock or so the Multis\u2019 panorama of all London and the countryside beyond turned apricot. Then, the sun set in the West, now glowing scarlet behind clouds.<\/p>\n

We wondered if there are some things money can\u2019t buy. But the penthouse, on the 12th<\/sup> floor, with its terraces, making the view possible – that cost money.<\/p>\n

After dark, the Multis produced some astonishing lanterns, bought specially. They really were sparing no efforts to style and lift midsummer\u2019s day. Perhaps they are growing druidical. Next year, will it be the Henge?<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also been gardening. The Blond Multi has a delightful geranium corner, all self-done. The Photographer Multi personally tends the rest, with excellent results. See graphs. What combinations!<\/p>\n
