Introducing Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth ..


Today was a day when I was able to  be part of a very special event the elevation of my brother Nicholas to the House of Lords where will sit as Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth . It was interesting to see how the Palace of Westminster functions and share dining space with figures such as Lord Mandelson and Lord Lawson.
Also in the news was the commemoration made for the many losses of lives associated with the coal mining in Wales it being 100 years since the UK's worst mining disaster (nearly 500 lives lost).

And China becomes an increasingly significant voice in Modern Art

The boys as seen in the Daily Mail 

Good to see that Chancellor Osborne and the clown prince (The London Mayor) Boris Johnson are still failing to sing from the same Hymn sheet - Chinese visitors to the UK  have been suffering from undue bureaucracy and any moves to make sure that they can visit with ease should be supported. I note how important they are becoming in many fields including contemporary art.
