I am in Sydney, Australia, reading with great affection about the newly opened Meeting Place, having moved here last month from my home in Brunswick Terrace.

We were regular customers and watched the new building go up during the past year.

I am so glad Rodney Posner has finally realised his dream, which has taken so long, and wish I could be there on Christmas Day to celebrate with one of his delicious rock cakes.

I wish him every success and look forward to being back in beautiful Brighton and Hove one day.
