A "Royal Visit"

Today we were visited by the Queen's representative in Yorkshire The Lord Lieutenant. She was lovely and brilliant at being interested in what we were doing. The great and the good of Mytholmroyd were there including those who were actively doing stuff.
It was I guess an old fashioned kind of an experience and some might say a lot of fuss about nothing in particular. The point of it all is elusive but at the heart of the visit was a kind of market where people talked about what they do. We talked to The Lord Lieutenant but also we talked to each other and I was able to talk to at least three people who I wouldn’t have otherwise met.
Talking to others helps to clarify in your own mind what you are doing and talking to others, well all sorts of stuff can happen when people talk to each other.
