I have known Nicky Haslam for many years, but two years ago we became close enough not just to say "Hello darling". He became so much more to me. He has wit and charisma that you rarely find. He helped me with my house in Cheyne Walk and saved me from the bullying tactics of an over enthusiastic 'white box lover' architect. He walked in with three over the top fireplaces and a cheeky grin and placed them to the horror of all on the site. He has true old fashioned style and good manners, but surprises everybody by always keeping himself up to the minute with new and brilliant ideas. I love him.
