Thurstaston Hill Bromborough golf club Ed Balls
Had it all planned out. Played golf on Sunday morning with a couple of friends and was heading home after quick drink in Bromborough Golf Club's pleasant bar. Get home, I thought, pleasantly tired after first game in 3 months, bite of lunch, couple of glasses of wine, fall asleep in front of the football. After all, it had been a long, hard week in the office as we get used to our new editorial set-up. Long days, difficult meetings.
Through front door: Morgan (aged 6) meets me at a run. 'Dad!' 'At last you're home! You promised we could walk up Thurstaston Hill today.'
I had.
So we did.
That night I was leg-weary but happy. It's easy to forget you're a dad first and an editor second.
I am having lunch with Ed Balls at our London offices at the end of this month. Any questions you'd particularly like me to ask the Secretary of State for Children and Families?
