history has been made

Today has been momentous; history has been made.

It was an impressive victory – not just for one person but for many.

It was a time when I realised that there had been a mandate for change – that the future might be very different. Surely things won’t be the same again. The tide has turned and it cannot be go back.

The victory was sweet and I am hoping that this taste of honey may last.

Oh yes, Barack Obama has won the presidential elections, but that is not what I am talking about here. The victory that was so sweet for me is this: that my children allowed me to listen – for a whole morning before they were packed off to school – to Radio 4.

Not once did they ask for Radio 1 instead.

Ah, the future is truly looking good…
