Halesworth

We kicked off the campaign in Halesworth yesterday. It was somewhat wet and windy to start off with, but showed I wasn't a fairweather candidate! Speaking to local businesses and people on the street, there is definitely a mood for change and regeneration in the rural market towns - a feeling of having been left out by the largesse that Labour has splashed out, particularly in its own heartlands rather than the shires.

The winds of change are stirring - reaching gale force in some parts - roll on the Election.

Later that day, I popped to London for my last event up there (which was very special) and enjoyed the experience of the train. I managed to meet some potential constituents and we discussed some local issues and some fine places to visit (eating and drinking).
