We have new neighbours across the street and this morning, he rang our doorbell, said they were having a few people around and we were welcome to pop over. So I left a rugby-engrossed Edward here and went over. They look to be late 40s, teenage children, not a new car, always very casually dressed. Imagine my surprise when one of the first people I saw was Mary Robinson, our first female president, and her husband There was a big crowd there, with a room set aside to watch the rugby, and I knew nobody except the couple themselves, Tessa and Robert, who obviously were busy with their other guests, although I did get chatting to one couple. I didn't stay too long and left just as food was being served.
Turns out that Tessa is Mary Robinson's daughter and Robert is a partner in a very well known criminal law firm of solicitors (thanks google ).
