I was disappointed that the Letter Writers’ get together on Monday, 27 June at the House of Lords had to be cancelled. When I am not expecting any important e-mails, I only check the In-Box on my main computer for new mails once in the morning and then before reiring to bed at night. As the Internet on my mobile phone had also gone up the creek on the day, I missed the emails from CBbhai, Rupanjanaben and Kamalbhai which were sent at about 2pm stating that due to unavoidable circumstances arising from the Brexit saga, the Meet and Greet session had to be postponed and will now take place some other day.
I am grateful to them for taking this much trouble to write to me. Having been the one who had initiated this event, I had somehow made this my cause celebre’ and was very much geared up for the occasion. Hence I arrived at Lord Dholakia’s committee room no 5 only to find out that there was only one other person who was in the same boat as me who too was unaware that the programme was not taking place on that day. With a heavy heart, I took the District line train to return to Newbury Park.
