US election: Ann Romney emphasises family touch

Ann Romney further emphasised her husband’s family credentials on Tuesday by baking a batch of Welsh cakes.

Preparing to deliver a “heartfelt” speech to the Republican convention, Mrs Romney treated journalists on Mitt Romney's campaign plane to her speciality, which is based on a family recipe.

Mrs Romney, 62, is descended from Welsh coalminers and has won plaudits on the US election trail for her eloquent remarks to supporters and energetic campaigning style after surviving cancer and M.S.

She said that she would stress “how important this election is going to be” and had been practicing her delivery in a school hall near the Romneys’ summer home in New Hampshire.

In a television interview yesterday she spoke for the first time about suffering a miscarriage in her 40s. She recalled her youngest son, Craig, had “burst into tears” after learning he would not, after all, have another sibling.
