So just come back from my second trip to Downing Street in three weeks. Is this a habit? Was delighted to accompany Adrian Sudbury (leukaemia patient) to hand in his petition about educating 17/18 year olds to be blood, bone marrow and organ donors. Felt a bit like an extra but was delighted to be able to be the senior face of the Charity at a meeting with Ed Balls.
Loads of security, loads of pics but also loads of rules to stop us making a boob. Ed Balls received the petition, but could not stand on the doorstep to No.10, less we think he may be measuring up for curtains following Gordon's departure! So we got to go in and up the magic staircase with the pics of all the previous PMs - there was Harold Wilson, Churchill, Lord Palmerston and Earl Grey - yep he really did exist! And at the top of the stairs a picture of Anthony Charles Lynton Blair - looking smug and mischievous. Did he ever believe that things would turn out as they have with GB?
So meeting with Ed Balls (nice man) followed by a brief tour of a bit of No.10 - amazing art, even more amazing carpets and decoration and yet more amazing silver collection - Turner, Whistler and Archibald Knox amongst them. Finally a chance to get a half decent pic of my in front of the big door with the number on. 3 weeks ago the pics ere dreadful and I was covered in shadow - today, spot on....well done Steve, you do take a good picture.
Just makes me want to be an MP even more - bum!
