Hi Kev!

Alan tells me that this is a photograph of Kevin Lavery's private parts - Kevin is the new Chief Executive of Cornwall. What a wag, our Alan is ! But I hope he's not suffering from sour grapes. I did a little checking. It doesn't look a bit like Kevin. In fact I rather think I met Kevin when he was Chief Executive in Newcastle. Mind you the man has got quite exceptional experience. He's done a couple of inner London boroughs and a spell at Kent too. And he also has a track record in the private sector too, holding down a proper job at BT (wasn't that where we all heard Alan was off to a while back? I wonder what went wrong?) Anyway it doesn't matter because at least Alan hasn't lost his sense of humour and I greatly look forward to some more jolly twinning trips with Alan and that very lovely foreign lady with the name I can never pronounce let alone spell. Burgit was it? Nice smile. Good legs. Loads of energy too. I love our little jaunts. It is a golden opportunity to check the state of the housing market for my satisfied clients. Meanwhile lets all get a good look at the chap who beat our cherished Chief Executive in Cornwall. When Kevin was at Serco someone gave him a video camera. Its not a bad idea. Alan should get one too.
