Tribute to Jools

A few drinks at the Deco Bar and then we tucked into a feast at the Moroccan Soup Bar. A great night to celebrate the departure of friend Jool's. A gathering included representatives of the artistic (Mel), the ever shrinking (Kent), the creatively inspired (Cheryl), the colour coordinated (Al), the princess (Jools), the contemplative (Tess), the jet lagged parents (Lyndal and Adrian), the chatty networker (Sam) and the incredibly adorable ... twisting of arms and legs ... (Sue).

With a tear forming in our eye and a quickening pulse, Cheryl and I took a moment to compose our homage to Jools.

We gathered last night to say bye,
'Cause on Monday back home he will fly.
He's back to Belfast,
His time here has passed,
The nation will breathe a great sigh!

Best wishes Jools!
