Lewis boy meets Obama.

I see on the television that Alistair Darling is at the drome, as they call it in Stornoway, to greet Barack Obama.

Ah look, there's Maggie Vaughan, Alistair's wife, with Michelle Obama. Change that headline - it's "Former Herald journalist meets President".

UPDATE: I should have mentioned that Maggie has organised to present the spouses of the G20 leaders with a Harris Tweed wrap each at the 11 Downing Street dinner being organised for them tomorrow night. Scarves for the gents, of whom there are two. Read all about it on the Harris Tweed Hebrides website.
