Heathcliff comes to Abu Dhabi

by 3 Comments  

So this ex-boyfriend thing has now reached ridiculous heights….not that Heathcliff (as you may remember him from blogs of years ago) was ever my boyfriend. No, he was the first love of my life. I was all of 17 when I met him at Pucci’s Pizzas in Chelsea and I fell in love in the way that only really stupid 16-year-olds can. Naturally he didn’t feel the same way about me, which is lucky, because what is the point of anguished teenage love if it is not anguished? Apparently I was too skinny I heard from a mutual friend years later. Which just goes to disprove the theory that a woman can’t be too thin or a man too rich.

Now he is a famous chocolate-maker, and he is coming to Abu Dhabi to launch his own brand of chocolate. You might even have heard of him, he is called Willie Harcourt-Cooze. He has been on TV and has written books all about chocolate.

Today I am interviewing him for the magazine, on the phone, so the article can come out when he is here at the end of the month. “It seems surreal you interviewing me,” he said in an email yesterday.

Not as surreal as Heathcliff pitching up in Abu Dhabi carrying bars of chocolate….

  • That’s hilarious! Consider yourself lucky – I met mine at Sainsbury’s where I was working as a student. I was on the checkouts, he worked in greengrocery. Last week I was back in Manchester and called in for a few things, and HE’S STILL THERE! Still doing his thing with the carrots and apples twenty years later. (I obviously pretended not to see him….)

    And make sure you tap yours up for a few free samples of chocolate!
