 Moorhouse Inn

A hot day. 

Bessie phoned to say that Andrew is agreeable about the 'godfather proposal' and Ally reassured her that the boy doesn't have a large solo performance at the christening. At 3:30 I went up Dewsbury Road for a breath of fresh air and afterwards we had bars of chocolate and cups of tea. Ally opened up at 5:30. Mum phoned to say they will call on us on Wednesday after visiting Susan and Lynn. Why? We are seeing them next Monday, and Leeds is a bit of a detour after visiting Guiseley.

Dr Hampson.
News: Earl Jermyn says, in the DT, that he will return to Ickworth Park in September from tax exile when he marries and chastises the PM for not scrapping capital transfer tax. Quite right. Mark Thatcher has brought Texan bombshell Karen Forston and her mother to Chequers no doubt to arrange wedding plans. St Margaret's Westminster in August, eh? Dr Keith Hampson, Tory MP for Leeds NW was arrested last week in a gay strip joint  in Soho after molesting a plain clothes copper. Hampson is Heseltine's PPS but wasn't carrying top secret documents at the time of his arrest. Twice married Dr Hampson says he was thoroughly pissed and depressed one night and that he staggered into this den of iniquity unaware of what was in store.Yet the proprietor of the gay establishment says Hampson is a regular client. I object to the police acting as agent provocateurs. Leave the poor little poof alone and let him get on with it. It's another promising career in ruins. Silly sod.
