Well, into my second week as mayor, I am finding my feet and where things are in the parlour, including that packet of biscuits that Ian Imray had lost at the back of the drawer.
Sorry Ian, they’re all eaten now!

This month sees a changeover of mayors across Worcestershire. Evesham’s new mayor is Alan Booth and he was first off the mark with his civic service on Sunday afternoon.
It made me think Worcester’s own civic service on June 24 is not that far away and that is always a special day for the city, council and mayor.
I am looking forward to the event, to be conducted by our newly installed dean, Peter Atkinson.
This last week has had a Spanish theme to it because for two days running I received visits from groups of 11-year-old children.
One group came from Cuenca and was visiting Claines CE Primary School and the other group was from Toledo visiting St Georges CE School in Barbourne.
Their English was pretty good and certainly better than my Spanish!
There are moves afoot to consider a formal twinning arrangement with Toledo and I do hope it works out as their city, like our own, is full of history and heritage.
It is a tradition that the newly elected mayor chairs the annual meeting of the Worcester and District Scout Council held in the Huntingdon Hall.
This is a business-like but friendly affair. Congratulations to Susan Ranscombe who received her 25-year long service award. What a great character she is!
I was never in the Cubs or Scouts and that’s something I rather now regret.
It’s a great organisation and I encourage anyone who’s interested to join up.
On Wednesday I had a sneak preview of progress at the Commandery in Sidbury.
I am sure it will become a top visitor attraction.
It will really bring centuries of Worcester history to life with interactive computer screens and the like.
There is a grand total of 34 rooms, all with a story to tell. From 1480 when it was a monastic hospital, through to the Civil War to more recently when it was used as a printing works, it has a magnificent history.
When finished, £1.5 million will have been spent on the building and exhibits – funded mainly by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the City Council.
It is money well spent, and as a bonus for Worcester council taxpayers you will be able to get in for free with proof of address.
I shall no doubt return write about the Commandery again so watch this space for details.
