A GOOD time was had at the Mayor's Ball in Darlington.
Mind you, I had a near miss at one point. I was stood talking to council leader John Williams when Kate Culverhouse, of the Groundwork Trust, came over with Karen Grundy, of the Council for Voluntary Service.
John leaned over me to kiss Karen, I moved in to kiss Kate and the council leader and I came within a whisker of kissing each other.
I think it was the defining moment of the night for both of us.
