Hi you all!!

Sorry I have not been around for a couple of days, but there's lots of historical stuff going on here in London, which I had to follow on TV.

We currently have the G20 Summit going on here and let me tell you my dear US friends..... your President and the First Lady are truly a "class act"!!!

The whole Summit has been televised minute per minute.... including the visit to Buckingham Palace, where Barack and Michelle Obama met our Queen...... and let me tell you even Queen Elisabeth and Prince Philip seemed to be star struck by the Obamas. They are so nice!!!

Without exception, all TV and Newspaper Journalists and the public were completely in owe of your President and the First Lady, who has been inspiring crowds in a way we had not seen here since the Princess Diana days. Today Michelle Obama was practically mobbed by pupils at a school she went to visit..... she spent several minutes hugging and kissing school children, who were quite emotional by the end of it!!

President Obama is as an exceptional public speaker and is truly mesmerizing when he delivers his speeches and answers impromptu questions from journalists. He has quite a wicked sense of humour, which of course we British people find very endearing. He's very confident but at the same time extremely humble and that went down a storm!! He's truly remarkable and you guys in the US are very lucky to have him as your Leader!!

So a very busy week here in London, with lots of demonstrations about all sorts of things...... with some vandalism and sadly even one death, but it was truly an historical week.

I am off to watch Mr Obama press conference now.
