It’s that woman again

Araminta, Lady Aldington, hostess, committee woman & founder of the Jacob Sheep Society, died in January aged 91 & was obituarised in The Times last Saturday.

The account of her colourful & lively life includes an anecdote from 2003 when, after dinner at the Carlton Club, she declared loudly ‘I am not getting into that lift with that woman.’

That woman was, of course, Lady Thatcher.
