Friday 8th February 2013

Up fairly early and went to the Thomas's Bakery on Tang Hall Lane to get some cheapo Yesterbake bread, and then I went into the Co-op to get a load of soya milk, and I was surprised to see Hugh Bayley, our MP, and Councillor Neil Barnes, our Ward Councillor.  They were there to officially open the new Post Office in the Co-op.

I chatted with Hugh for a while and he asked me if I'd help with a photo.  I joked that I'd be delighted to be in a photo with him just as long as no-one photoshopped a Labour Party badge onto me!  He gently explained that he'd like me to take a photo of him and Neil, so I did a series of snaps for them, next to the new counter.

A couple of minutes later I had another joke with him about him being up a ladder pretending to put the Post Office sign up on the wall.  I mentioned the DEFRA work I was doing with St Nicks and he was interested.

I then went to St Nicks to take all my filled-in forms in, and ask about continuing, and was given a form with all the roads yet to be done. There's still quite a bit of work to do.

I didn't feel like doing any door-to-door today as I wanted to do some more wooding, and I had a busy and enjoyable outdoor day.
