Friday 20th July 2012<\/p>\n

No, not that Priory. These Poor Little Rich Gays took a Priory in Sussex for the weekend.<\/p>\n

Landmark Trust – do you know it? V. superior.<\/p>\n

Prince Dmitri Hersov, of the Accountancy Firm, and I went down by train last Saturday because we’d got to be back for the My Fair Lady<\/em> prom. Lucky to have him with me, an accountant at the highest level, because you needed to be able to count the carriages to avoid being hived off to Littlehampton. The train divided at Haywards Heath (more 1st class season tickets from here than any other station). If you couldn’t count which carriage you were in, you’d be in danger of Littlehampton.<\/p>\n

So, Marcus Cargill, England’s leading clock mender (oh yes, at the Lily Safra level) and Hamish McCory took this Priory with these new Poor Little Rich Gays for the weekend, although they all live just a few miles away. Their publican and partner were also of the party.<\/p>\n

The Priory’s got its own private ruins and is nestled in a crook of the Downs.<\/p>\n

East Sussex – near Glyndebourne. One of the best counties of England for residence. You can be enclosed but not hemmed in. There’s always a view. Great Dixter’s the same. To me, this is England.<\/p>\n

The Multis came down by car. They too had to be back for a Gala that evening at Covent Garden given by Trenton’s gallery, which they support.<\/p>\n

We were so refreshed and soothed after London engagements. Lord Arrowby’s party had been only the night before, after which I was barely standing. It was beamy,\u00a0 this Priory, but not nooky, in fact spacious, with Georgian elements. We paraded round, planning improvements, especially extra bathrooms, before a most comforting lunch with fine wines.<\/p>\n

Now these new Poor Little Rich Gays. One of them is actually the Bond Dealer who has been briefing me privately about the Libor Rate scandal. This was not the first time I’ve met them. But suddenly they’re on board! So thrilled with them. They do go to pubs and are not so utterly rarified as some Poor Little Rich Gays. The other, Rupert Aubrey, sang exquisitely ‘On the Street Where You Live’ from My Fair Lady<\/em> and explained that, on holiday recently in Ibiza, he had become exasperated (reason not known) and boarded at once for London. At Heathrow, he changed his mind and, hammering to return, took the only remaining seat on the next flight back which happened to be Club Class.<\/p>\n

\u00a31000 round-trip. Not bad.<\/p>\n

Marcus said, ‘Oh, I think he regained after lunch. I’d forgotten all the whole thing until you mentioned it.’<\/p>\n

Seven dogs were present in the Priory, belonging in not quite equal proportions to the gay couples in residence.\u00a0 They were either black or white, no colour variation permitted. All pedigree of course.<\/p>\n
