Good example of being with the people. Good example of what it means to be a patron. Be with the people and appreciate heir way of life. I am sure the first lady appreciated the ground and will understand the netball team when they talk of need for good training ground. Such surprise visits would help if other leaders follow her example. Break out from the security details and see for yourself life at the ground. I love that!
