    Phew, what a day. I seem to have been caught on film by BBC and https://www.senedd.tv several times. I dont think that me running up the steps to round up a stray Police Constable is my best look, especially the bit where I vault the chair ................ ahem. I am a lady honestly

    Oh my word! I hope I can find that on the website!




    ETA - thinking of the work of the Prince's Trust - I'm watching the Fairy Jobmother, in my home town - oh my word, its why I left, and its still going on in parts of my city .... so awful. The need for the sort of help that his charities make available is still absolutely huge. You go for it, cheri!

    Phew! I survived. YES KC and Pippi, you are correct.
    I spent a very pleasant time having a private audience with ALL FOUR along with the other members of my team and some young people that we have been working with. I am pleased to say that my particular group were of great interest to Pippi's hero and I can confirm that he is very lovely, as is Camilla by the way (she is stunning and the press are very wrong about her) the Queen and Prince Philip were also very, very nice indeed.

    This is a quick post as I have just landed at the hotel room for a quick change before heading back over to the office for a celebratory wind down.
    PS - KC I wasnt lucky enough to pretend to be any one of them as I had to be me when we got to that bit of the rehearsals.

    :T:T:T What an amazingly exciting day :T:T:T

    I spotted a bit on the BBC web at lunchtime about the Queen being in Wales and just knew she would be the one but I hadn't got a clue about the other 3 being there too :eek:

    What an awesome, unforgetable day. makes the job worth while :j
