And off she goes

After a fantastic last several of days, Maddy is off to Heathrow to return to America tomorrow morning. I'm off with the Marshall Scholars to our official trip to Wales, during which we'll be touring Welsh cultural centres and meeting with Welsh officials on various international relations and policies issues.

Highlights from the past few days with Maddy:

• Gorgeous weather in Edinburgh with a great walk up Calton Hill;
• Loving up the West End - "Spamalot", "Matilda", and "Singin' in the Rain"
• Punting in Cambridge

I will miss her dreadfully. It's so very easy to spoil yourself while spoiling someone else...
