It all started when I was installed at Salters’ Hall (of course) on 12 July – my wife’s (and my) wedding anniversary. An odd occasion to find that I was taking a Mistress (as the Master’s wife is traditionally known). The year started as it was destined to continue with a great speech from our Principal Guest, Earl Howe who still sits in the House of Lords and regaled us with interesting stories of life in that House.
