10 years…

May 14th, 2007

It’s not often that I manage a politics reference, but here’s my chance.

Ten years…well yes, it’s about Tony Blair, but also about me and Dan.

We chalked up ten years together at the end of April.  Admittedly, we then spent a lot of the first year apart, while I was teaching in Poland, and Dan was finishing his degree, plus a few work trips on either side since then, but it’s still a decade of thee-n-me, which is quite something.

So yes, our relationship has been played out with Blair in the background, and all the New Labour developments.  We predate Tony’s election result by a few days, but thankfully we aren’t now off to do speaking tours around the world.  (Occasionally, it feels slightly like that on the odd work trip…)

Given that we’re in the generation which had never really known anything but Tory governments until New Labour came to power, it’s quite something to see the end of another long-running campaign.  In addition, with the swing towards SNP in the recent Scottish elections, the political background is set to change quite a bit more.

Here’s to another decade in power meanwhile…(sorry love.  Both of us.  Really.  Of course.)
