Obama @ Stonehenge

I noted how Barack Obama began his NATO conference with a trip to Mount Pleasant primary school, to be photographed at the feet of a dragon with David Cameron and some adorable children in the post Tick Tock.

He closed his conference visit with a private tour of Stonehenge, a place steeped in mythology.

It was not entirely private though; a family called Raffle, who live close by, crossed the fields to meet him at a fence.One is surprised they were not encountered beforehand by some of the President's security team.

There is one James Raffle on the "professional network" Linkedin. He leads a Geophysical team in oil and energy. I am not sure if it is the same James, but his age would seem about right.

What seems curious about the mail on line article concerning the visit is that the entire Raffle family appear to have changed their clothes at some point, Mrs Raffle now wearing a "Queen Bee" top in a nod to her charity work.

Maybe they were just sweaty,  maybe it was the next day.
