Breakfast with Leslie Walford and Colin Davies

Will it be in Galle? In their house named ‘Orchard House’?

Will it be in Paris?

Will it be in Double Bay?

Will it be In Bangkok?

It will be Stylish. Entertaining. Thought provoking.

In Double Bay you will be surrounded by frescos. In Galle by wonderful plants and you will sit on Sri Lankan chairs on a white floor . In Paris and in Bangkok with good company.

What I like about these two is that they are curious. About the world. Are you?

Art, Theatre, Music and as I said curiosity oozes out of these two. Yes they have an abundant life but being who they are, they make it abundant and colourful for those who come in touch with them.

Red silk jackets are part of their wardrobe

Orange beaming smiles are part of their existence

When you sit on their comfortable yellow chairs

You cannot help but be yourself

Orchids dance in the greenery of their terraces, in the sarongs they adore wearing

They both have soft kind voices. Music of every genre plays out of their indigo blue music machines.

Having said all this, their generosity of treating all equally evokes

and extends, bright navy blue minds. Pink poems flow from gold pens.

Purple splendour is their nature. Rich gold and innocent white their demeanour

And Breakfast? What would I serve them? They would readily come to any places I recommend ( dives included) but I would like to do something special for them.

I would serve custard apples with seeds removed. Mixed with crème fraiche and decorated with cherries

Idlis( to remind them of Galle), onion curry(with reduced juice) and white haricot beans sprinkled with Mustard seeds.

Duchy originals with butter and the best jam I can find

Organic carrot halwa. With lots of nutmeg.

We will call it the curiosity breakfast.
