Here I am with some other bright young things, welcoming the Prime Minister as he arrived to make his leader’s speech today.

My fantastic mum tracked it down on the iPlayer, so I’ve been able to capture the moment for posterity!

Bravo!!

Alcinoo & Bruno got married at Hackney Town Hall today. It was a really sweet ceremony filled with funky folks from their homelands of Italy & Brazil – then off to Vortex Bar in Dalston where we ate, drank, made merry and had a fabulous impromptu show from the Hackney Girls’ Street Dance Troup, who were practicing in the square all afternoon. The highlight was Brazillian coctails and a Cake Buffet!!

Sadly I had to leave early and hotfoot down to Brighton for the first exciting evening of the Labour Conference, where a London Delegate reception promised intimate contact with our magnificent Cabinet Ministers :) )

Gorgeous Gaggle of Girls & Guys

We had a pot-luck lunch – very brave of amy to have 30 people coming for a meal and nothing on the cooker but a casserole – which turned into a sumptuous feast as more people arrived with goodies. It was a real treat to see beloved school friends with their children, especially a few who I hadn’t seen since I left.. 15 years ago!
