In a wee departure from the usual policy-heavy stuff, this week I thought I'd let you know that I'm going to meet the Queen on Tuesday 13 July. She's WRVS's patron in case you didn't know or hadn't guessed Well, I say 'meet', I've been invited to the Royal Garden Party at the Queen's Edinburgh residence Holyrood Palace, along with hundreds of others. I'd like to think she'll say hello but who knows? I'll blog about it but in the meantime here's my other Queen story:
My car once broke down near Holyrood Palace. The gearbox seized and it was completely undrivable. Luckily for me, the Queen was about to arrive so the area was crawling with police officers, who, when they discovered my car was 'kaput', physcially pushed it up a side street for me! Security risk you see but it got me out of a jam. And as I was walking home who should pass by in her Rolls Royce but Her Majesty! I wonder whether I'll get as close this time. Maybe I could tell her that story. What do you think?
