We lunched on the Rock
Just Patricia and me
On champagne and lobsters
And some cake from Dundee
Our uber was a sailboat
Crossing the sea
Fetching the family
For afternoon tea

It is indeed a family portrait. You can see clearly that I am wearing my barrister’s wig. In the boat are our two children James and Gavan. James’s wife Heather is also in the boat.

The rock is of course Rockall, an uninhabited island set in the North Atlantic ocean.
Ownership is occasionally contested as between Ireland and the UK although in international law, it belongs to the UK.
It is therefore entirely appropriate that dinning on the Rock is an English barrister and an Irish professor!
