I spent this morning working at home and at lunchtime journeyed into London for a meeting at the Disability Law Centre. Linda and I agreed to exchange policies: our one on whistleblowing for DLS’s on conflicts of interest.

Back in Hertfordshire, Jackie and I went to the Watford Palace Theatre to see their centenary Milestones production which uses exclusively volunteer performers (including Anne and Vanessa from CVS) to celebrate Watford’s history and diversity. I don’t want to be a craven lovey but the production was absolutely marvellous. Unfortunately, this week’s edition of the Watford Observer brings news that the Palace Theatre faces financial difficulties. But the Theatre seems to be responding positively to the challenge and strengthening its links to the community. Let’s hope the community rallies round.
