The first Monday of May is a bank holiday traditionally to celebrate labour but not much rest for those of us involved in campaigning.
Some more delivery, a trip to the Suffolk Country & Game Fair at Glemham Hall to meet a few people, then to Warren Heath / Purdis Farm and Levington to finish off canvassing.
Yesterday (Sunday), I enjoyed seeing the Classic Car Rally (was part of it at one stage!) from Ipswich to Felixstowe.. plenty of roadside parties and spectators en route and it felt like a Foyle's War re-enactment at one stage. Such a shame about the weather but there were still people about to view these splendid vehicles close up - including the lawn mower on its way from Edinburgh to London. I managed to do some house visits in Trimley St Mary and Felixstowe as well before heading home to get sorted for the rest of the week.
Saturday we were out in different parts of the constituency - Leiston and Aldeburgh with Richard Smith our candidate in the county council by-election then on to Foxhall and Purdis Farm. My sister Clare and I then enjoyed ourselves at a ceilidh in Wenhaston (dancing to Cameron's Ceilidh Band) in aid of the Halesworth Community Nursing Care Fund. That was quite a laugh but Clare's foot got sore so we called it a night. Good to meet some people and a good laugh as well.
In the last week, we have gone back to places across the constituency. The feature of the week has been the number of hustings - Saturday in Halesworth, Sunday in Felixstowe, Monday in Saxmundham, Tuesday in Southwold and Wednesday in Aldeburgh plus two school meetings at Woodbridge and Deben.
Without a computer at home, my blog entries will be somewhat limited now but thanks to all those who have viewed and got in touch. I will still be responding to emails and will finish posting my responses to the lobby emails. I will correct the broken link to my manifesto for Suffolk Coastal and will try to work out how to post a pdf on to this site so that people can see the leaflets generated. (I was pleased that our leaflet was being delivered last week by the Royal Mail, though not everyone has received it yet.)
