Day 13 Wednesday dawned and I felt quite rested when I woke.
The day was chill but bright as I walked to the tube and I got a couple of
phone calls while walking, which cheered me up. I mused on the tube. In the
carriage there are so many personal worlds: books, magazines, newspapers,
kindle e-books, smart phones, i-pads (watching Star Trek!), headphones
listening to music, podcasts, downloads. Probably no two people doing the same
thing, all to separate themselves from their cramped companions, and to drown
the whine of the motors and the scream of the wheels; a Velvet Underground.
The show started slowly but by midday was quite busy. We are
open today until 7.00 to welcome Prince Charles. I hope he passes me by as I
can ask if he has used the airer and Dryline that I sent him for Kate and
William’s boy. Sean came again to discuss some more points of business and left
at about 3.00 to catch the plane back to Dublin .
I left him to do some selling but I don’t think he was really very comfortable
doing it; it makes me think perhaps he’s not the man for the job.
Prince Charles actually did arrive after 6 and was still
talking to various people when I left at 7.00, but he never toured our area and
the throng was cordoned off in front of his show houses, made from traditional
green ecological materials to higher than Regulation standards. He was also
front page news today about the housing shortage in the country, and London
