It would probably be an all night sitting to debate whether or not it is true to say that our visit to the Palace of Westminster took place in the midst of election fever, but the Palace being in recess made for a different, and better, tour to others I have been on. We were also lucky to have a very well informed guide who seamlessly mixed humour with historical fact making the hour and a quarter fly by.   At one point we had a waiting list, but with drops outs along the way all those wanting to come did and so almost thirty members enjoyed the event, and we were joined by former Congresswoman Elaine Luria, her husband and daughter. We then adjourned to the Clarence opposite Horse Guards Parade and enjoyed both liquid and solid refreshment.
