The House of Lords

A few years ago my youngest son Jamie was doing consultancy work for the court system at the Department of Justice. Through this work he visited the Crown Prosecution Service offices in London regularly. On one such visit a renowned member of the House of Lords invited Jamie and a guest for lunch to that historic place. I was the guest. Down we went to London Virgin first class. We attended a business meeting first and then a taxi ride over to the house. We were given a guided tour which included the galleried area above the chamber. Lunch was a surreal experience sitting among very powerful people casually chatting and enjoying their lunch. Five of us sat around the table individually served by our own waiter - it was unbelievable . I ordered a delightful Dover Sole which was delicious !Never in a million years could I have imagined me then in my late seventies being wine and dined by a Lord of the realm. An incredibly privileged experience never to be forgotten.
