Tues, May 11th

Not surprising, today we were glued to the television as history unfolded in front of our eyes this evening. We had been watching the end of a film we had started the night before when it was announced that Gordon Brown was about to make an announcement outside Number 10 Downing Street. Little did we think that is was to resign as Prime Minister. We then watched in interest as, within less than 90 minutes, Brown had visited the Queen to resign, followed by David Cameron to accept the Queen's invitation to form a government and then he made a speech outside Number 10 himself to announce that the Conservatives and Lib-Dems would form a government. Five days after the Labour party had lost control, and 13 years after Tony Blair had defeated the Tory party, there was a conservative Prime Minister back in office.
