Celebrating diversity


Last night Jamie met his first lesbian couple (not pictured).

Our former neighbours Jo (above left) and Mark were having a party to which the Whites were invited. Unfortunately it was due to begin at 7pm which, as it happens, is also Jamie's bedtime.

So, in a compromise arrangement, we arrived after six to have a drink with the two of them and also their friends Helen (above right) and Clive from Donegal who we've met several times before .

We ended up staying a little longer than planned as, unlike most parties I've been to, most guests arrived either early or on time and, crucially, because Jamie had a chance to hold court.

And how he enjoyed himself. He smiled at everyone who took an interest, laughed from time to time and, for his main performance, blew raspberries at the lesbians - who loved it (almost as much as they no doubt love each other).

Perhaps next week, as we continue Jamie's crash course to modern Britain, we'll introduce him to someone from Wales.
