Boston

 When I found that the Queen Mary II was going to be docking in Boston for the day, I made contact with an old friend Heather Palmer, who with whom I had been at Cambridge and the London hospital with between 1958 and 1963. We have kept in contact over the years because Heather went into paediatrics and then taught at the Harvard school of public health. We had met a few times at the American public health association meetings, and we always caught up with Christmas letters. For the first time in my life, I went by Uber to Heather‘s house in Newton a very nice suburb of Boston. We spent a few hours chatting, went to lovely fresh fish restaurant and then I got another Uber back to the Queen Mary II . A great reunion.
