Friday, Saturday and Sunday continued the campaign trail (well Sunday was a day of rest though politics always comes up somehow!) .
Friday - we covered some ground that I had missed when going off to the manifesto launch earlier in the week. From Melton to Blaxhall to Tunstall to Chillesford to Orford. We enjoyed lunch at the Cherry Tree Inn (the Wilford Bridge was too full) then onto Bromeswell, Sutton, Shottisham, Alderton, Bawdsey and Ramsholt. We finished the day with a house meeting and a fair number came along.
Saturday - out in force in Felixstowe with a big team, covering the main shopping area and then canvassing. Very good reaction on the doorstep though couldn't quite swing a Liverpudlian.
After lunch, we moved on to Walton and then the Trimleys.
I took my sister to the Ramsholt Arms for a quick drink before driving to the other end of the constituency to Cratfield for the auction of promises for the church. I successfully bid for a cake for a special occasion - I hope to have it made in a few weeks' time!
Sunday - after church in Aldeburgh, we enjoyed lunch in the sunshine at the Cross Keys Inn looking across the beach. We then supported the cream tea at Mike and Helen Williams' house in Westleton. I was saddened to learn about the death of Westletonian and long-standing Conservative member, Morgan Caines RIP. My prayers are with him tonight.
