BANGALORE, INDIA: Britian's first lady, Sarah Brown has found a good communication platform in blogging, and social networking.

Present at the G8 summit along with her husband Gordon Brown, Sarah's blog posts provide glimpses about the spouses' summit.

She will be hosted along with the other G8 spouses at the three-day summit in L'Aquila by Clio Napolitano, the wife of the Italian president, Giorgio Napolitano.

Updated every hour from Italy, the blog gives details of the programme at the summit.

“There's a busy few days ahead for me as part of the spouses programme while Gordon is at summit. But I am looking forward to meeting up with the other halves,” writes Sarah.

Her schedule at the summit includes visiting the people affected by the devastating earthquake that struck the town in April, meeting the audience with Pope Benedict XVI and also some site seeing of historical sites of Rome.

Talking about her meeting with the Pope, Sarah, in another blog post mentions, “I have the privilege of a second meeting with His Holiness the Pope in Vatican City with the rest of my group (good to see the spouses from Mexico, India and the EU who are all friends from the G20).”

She also mentions of catching up with Michelle Obama, and summons her experience by saying, “Thanks to the good food and good company, I have to skip the museum tour as I am now running a bit late for the next event.”
