Was happy to meet with Baroness Tonge today. The day started pretty strange in that I knew she was coming but I found her perplexed and looking lost as I drove through the town. How could I leave her standing all confused on the corner of the road, so I pulled over my mini and offered her a lift - ever the gentleman! This had two consequences, one that she arrived nearly 40 minutes before we expected, and secondly she had to sit in our reception area for 15 mins. Now our reception area is grim - really grim - I mean what with the packing cases and the lack of legroom, not to mention the descretion not employed by the receptionist, it is the perfect incentive to meet with your visitors as soon as they arrive!
Whizz bang DNA
We had a really interesting meeting which included understanding her views on the Palestinians and the Holy Land - very akin to mine. It is great to know that people think the same as you sometimes....anyhow she did a tour of the premises and seemed very content that we knew what we were doing and would be a great Charity to support - our DNA extraction seemed to greatly excite her (it is pretty whizz bang). Much was achieve and all without even a cup of coffee to oil the wheels...that's international diplomacy for you.
