Monday 24th June. Our last public events .
I attended the Election of Sheriffs at Guildhall . A very colourful affair and made one proud to be associated with the City .We all knew what to shout out at the right moment . Ivor Richards and Roger North attended as well  .Once more the clear message coming from the  elected Sheriffs, Sir Paul Judge and Adrian Waddingham, was  that the City flourishes by combining innovation and tradition.

I will have a chance to say something at our Court meeting on the 3rd July , which will be in my final blog. But Lis would like to finish her contribution by saying a few words .

On Monday I went to a most enjoyable Masters' Ladies Lunch in Saddlers' Hall . There were 9 Mistresses including Liz Farmer , Mistress of the Saddlers . The meal was excellent and we chatted 19 to the dozen about our visit to Ironbridge and all the other exciting events which we have attended. Everyone agreed that being a Mistress is a wonderful experience and privilege . Thank you for the opportunity.
