A true close call would need to be described using the words: "I would have been there myself if it hadn't been for... [insert something unlikely that happened to you]".

NB - it really has to be something unlikely. It wouldn't work if you said: "I would have been there myself if it hadn't been for... the fact that I have a job in Scotland that doesn't involve any foreign travel at all".
