| I realise I haven’t blogged much other than my speeches for a while so thought I would first give a run down of where I have been and what I have been up and give you the links to my last few Guardian Blogs too. As you can see it has been really busy with loads of meetings crammed in with external organisations, MP’s, and Journalists but I think we have got a lot done! Attached to this blog are some photos of what I have been up to since 2007 arrived.
