I left Ditchley Park in Oxfordshire at Saturday lunchtime and drove to Portmeirion on the north west coast of Wales. I arrived just in time to hear (Lord) Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal, converse with Sir Mark Walpole of the Wellcome Trust on the subject of Mass Over Matter in a Mass Age: Science and Medicine which was simply wonderful.
Other highlights were:
** Steve Richards of the Indy doing his one man act
** Sarah Churchwell's 100mph's tour de force on The American Dream and so much more (listen to the podcast at
www.namesnotnumbers.com)
** David Davies MP on Google
I was a tad tired by the time I made it home at 9pm on Sunday evening!!
