A couple of days off - and look what happens!
Janet is very patient with me. I’m sure she thought that once I had fully retired we’d spend time doing what normal retired people do! Gardening, days out walking in Derbyshire and going off in the caravan at weekends. Little did she realise that when I became a local politician and an organiser of a food and drink festival I would have even less time at home than when I was working!
So when a friend of ours suggested that we have a caravanning weekend together I immediately said “Yes” and looked forward to a couple of nights and three days away from it all. So on Friday we hitched up and went down to Tewkesbury. We’ve had a super weekend and I have to admit that I’ve been able to forget Stone problems for a bit!
But on looking at my emails on getting home today, I see that I received an important and urgent email from Libdem headquarters last Friday evening. It concerned the forthcoming by- election which will soon be held in Crewe and Nantwich following the death last week of Gwenneth Dunwoody, the Labour MP. Unfortunately, I opened the email half an hour after the deadline for replies. That’ll teach me to take a weekend off to go eating, drinking and enjoying myself.
have your say
