Vancouver VIPs

Matthew, Mary, Trent

Amazing the people I run into in Vancouver.  At lunch with Trent and Emma Walsh – they who run Leading Quality Assurance worldwide – at their West Vancouver home, coincided with their houseguests Matthew and Davina Robertson. Photo shows Matthew, left, and Trent, on right.

Davina (McCall, the UK’s most successful female television presenter) had gone to shower before they flew back to England. Emma was making coffee.  Matthew heads momentumadventure.com, bespoke experiences, say weekending in the Arctic or dune-buggying in Baja.

Back at Opus Hotel, Philippe Kjellgren, boss of kiwicollection.com, called by to say Hi before heading east to New York to guest-star on Harvey Weinstein’s Project Runway Accessories.

What seemed like only a few hours later, at Opus’s 100 Nights pop-up restaurant, it was breakfast with Nicholas Gandossi, who told me that the restaurant’s next botox would be unwrapped 18 September. Can’t wait.
