CHERIE Blair paid a surprise visit to Newent's Sheppard House Day Centre on Monday and spent more than an hour chatting to residents and staff.
Manager Lynne Mayo said they had a phone call asking if someone from the Labour Party could visit but did not know who until ten minutes beforehand.
"It was a bit of a shock but she was lovely," she said.
