Prompted by reading the wonderfully irreverant Karl's blog... I'm quite addicted to Karl, she's one very amusing lady. I like the horse photos too so if you follow the link make sure you scroll down and have a look at those.
What prompted this was the second paragraph mention of Winston Peters (and I agree with her opinion of him).
We were wandering through Fieldays this year in a crush of far too many people and Winston had a stand. So there he was standing, smiling, immaculate in his navy suit (at least pretty sure it was navy, I actually only glanced at him) with a handful of party supporters, kissing the babies and no doubt discussing immigration. The woman in front of us in the crush went "Oh it's Winston" deserted her husband (well I'm assuming they were married, they looked married) to gravitate towards the stand. Her husband headed in the general direction after her. We moved on about two stands and paused to look at something there that was a little more interesting than your average political candidate and the same couple came back past us a few minutes later. As they passed us the wife was gushing, starry eyed from the meeting.
I caught what she was saying as we went past and had difficulty not laughing out loud. "Hasn't he got the loveliest handshake." she was saying...
The mind boggles at how people may make voting decisions.... and how would you describe a lovely handshake?

I've been meaning to sneak a peek at your blog for ages, and what a treat it is! In answer to your question, I think the 'perfect Winnie handshake' would be one where you not only kept all your fingers, but also were able to eventually wash off the accumulated hair oil ;-) (Disappearing now to carry on reading... you're much more interesting than me!)
