A clip of Prince William taking his first steps on the Government House lawn in the early eighties in NZ still comes up from time to time. Makes me feel ancient to know I actually have more hair than William who’s going bald.
When you are relieved that you have remembered that the reason you were searching a drawer is to find a pair of scissors but by the time you find them you have forgotten why you wanted them.
In my view this needs to be someone "new", enthusiastic, probably young (under 30), with a fresh approach and ideas, a willingness to reach out to all and not carrying around previous baggage from the Trust, CARD, the museum, various supporters clubs, etc, etc.
That way nobody has a pre-judged opinion from the start and we can all equally slag them off from the get go.
Edit: Sorry, I meant "support", "Support them from the get go".
You know your getting old when you poodle up to the supermarket checkout without a care in the fucking world failing to notice (refuse to make eye contact) the 8 people queuing for the same checkout behind you.
