My friend Peter Browne, who has died of pancreatic
cancer aged 60, was a travel writer and editor. On the launch team of the
UK edition of Condé Nast Traveller magazine back in 1997 and still its senior editor at large at the end of his life, Peter was renowned for his love of Africa and his wry sense of humour.
He was also known for his stately taste in interior design, generous dinner parties and his passion for the
Chelsea flower show, the gardens at Sissinghurst and his cats, Hari and Hori.
