The Duracell Bunny
- 13 Feb 2005
A very windy morning spent canvassing in Holt followed by a quieter afternoon in North Walsham. Again, an excellent response with quite a few switchers. Hilarious end to the day when I called on a lady who had had a large LibDem poster at the last election on a prime poster si...
A Day Off
- 13 Feb 2005
Today I spent the day with my parents travelling round North Norfolk. They came up for the Gillian Shephard dinner last night. We went to the Muckleburgh Collection at Weybourne in the morning. My Dad loves anything to do with World War II and collects old military vehicle...
Drug Rehabilitation
- 2 Feb 2005
Spent the morning at the Princess Diana Drugs Rehabilitation Centre in Mundesley yesterday. I took IDS there in December but thought I would go back on my own to learn a bit more about what they do. Met several of the patients, all of whom were fearful of the elevel of support...
Today's Debate
- 31 Jan 2005
A very lively debate tonight at Sheringham. Probably my best performance of the three so far. Two UKIP voters came up to me at the end and whispered they would be supporting me. I also had a Labour voter call the office today pledging support. I had three delegations of people...
Criss Crossing North Norfolk
- 21 Jan 2005
I reckon I have clocked up 200 miles today. Swanton Abbott-North Walsham-Eccles on Sea-Wells-North Walsham-Swanton Abbott-Hoveton-Cromer-North Walsham-Swanton Abbott. Started the day off in Eccles to see some people who are concerned about the state of their local roads. T...
A real Achievement for Tsunami Victims
- 14 Jan 2005
Well, I achieved something of real value today - in more ways than one. I secured free transport for two container loads of blankets and clothing collected by the people of Sheringham to the Bande Aceh region of Indonesia. The goods will be distributed to the hardest hit areas...
Stalham Debate
- 5 Jan 2005
Just got in after the debate in Stalham. The UKIP Candidate came out with a classic. "An MP from a small independent Party has little or no influence." I couldn't have put it better myself. About 70 people tonight. Very good questions. And a 23 year old guy came up to me at th...
Cromer, Crematorium, Will Young and New Year Blowout
- 23 Dec 2004
I discovered the most brilliant shop in Cromer today. It's the Garden House giftshop in Garden Street. I bought about a dozen presents there which essentially meant I'd done all I needed to. Hurrah! I'm a day ahead of myself. Normally I buy all my presents on Christmas Eve! ...
A Boxing Day Dip
- 19 Dec 2004
I've done it again. On Boxing day I'm going to brave freezing temperatures to take part in the annual Boxing Day dip at Cromer. I'll be joining the intrepid North Norfolk Beach Runners for the festive swim to raise funds for BREAK. Funds raised will be used to provide seaside ...
A Visit from IDS
- 18 Dec 2004
It's 1am and I am about to go to bed. Very frenetic day. IDS arrived over an hour late due to traffic. What is it with me and visiting speakers? Boris Johnson went to Peterborough instead of Norwich, Cecil Parkinson ended up driving down the M11 the wrong way and now this! IDS...
