It was my first time to Earl’s Court by Tube (Metro) in more than a decade. Chloe and I spoke on the phone the following day (Friday) and I was trotting off to The Pembroke, the new gastro-bar’s name for the no-longer-gay Coleherne in Earl’s Court, on Monday 3 rd April – leather motorbike jacket in hand! I’ll tell you about that later! Stading outside the ‘Coleherne’, with badly fitting leather jacket The e-mail, from Chloe, asked if I would be interested in sharing my stories of the Coleherne with the actor Rupert Everett. On 30 th March, just over a month after I published the blog, I had an e-mail from the award-winning Swan Films TV company. I wrote it as a tiny contribution to this year’s LGB&T History Month, especially given the significance of the 50th anniversary since the first partial decriminalisation of male homosex in England and Wales. Little could I have imagined what a great blessing it would be to write the one called “ Tales of the Coleherne”, back in February 2017. What amazing fortune that I paid heed to all those people who have told me I should write my autobiography! Okay, well I’m not quite up for that, but it is a joy dotting down some stories, every now and again, for these memoires.
