Sofia’s First Communion

Celebrating my beautiful God Daughter's First Communion

I’ve just returned home from a lovely weekend in Germany, celebrating my beautiful God Daughter Sofia’s (pictured above, and with me in the ‘about me’ section of this website’s) first communion.

It was a really lovely ceremony and I felt quite emotional as I thought about the day I made my own first communion, now twenty years ago.

Anyway, I promised Sofia I would post this photo of us, taken after the church service, to the website.

Gut gemacht, meine Liebe! Ich bin total stolz auf dich!

Viele Gruesse und viel Liebe.

Deine Paten Tante Miranda

The walk will take place next Monday the 16th of April, at 7.00pm, Cann Hall

‘Any Questions?’ comes to Leyton!!!!

O-Regen Chief Exec Julian Martin and I with Leyton AQ Panel

I am really, really chuffed that BBC Radio 4’s ‘Any Questions?‘ programme was broadcast live from Leyton ward on Friday night.

Regular visitors to this site will recall that back in January, I invited Jonathan Dimbleby, and the Any Questions team, to broadcast the show from the gorgeous Score Building in my ward, as part of my continuing bid for Leyton’s world domination!!! 🙂

Political legend Tony Benn (pictured above far right); the Daily Mail’s chief sketch writer Quentin Letts (pictured partially behind Liz Forgan, second from left); English Heritage’s Liz Forgan (Front, second from left); and philosopher Professor A.C Grayling (pictured behind me, to the right) joined the programme’s Chair Jonathan Dimbleby (pictured behind me to the left) for a really cracking show.

Thanks so much to Julian Martin (pictured far left), Chief Executive of O-Regen, which manages the Score Building, and his team, for all their help and support in putting the event together. Continue reading “‘Any Questions?’ comes to Leyton!!!!”
