Had a great time at the Mayor’s Charity Ball last night. Good conversation, the wine flowed, and the food by the Garfield Girls was fabulous. I must be getting old, because although I thought the music was good, it was far too loud. and I’ve never been ‘into’ dancing.

The guest of honour, Sir Nick Harvey, made not a single political point in his speech, and apart from mentioning the Tesco fiasco, told only jokes – none of which I can remember!
