Tired after a late night, I worked on my backlog of newspaper cuttings and then drove out to buy some brackets and posts before welcoming Dad after his Addenbrooke’s Hospital visit. With him to collect a cold and grateful Debbie from Offord stables on a very chilly and showery day. Hosting Parish Council Planning Committee Members at Samuel Jones to discuss their expansion plans and then reviewing the next few days’ campaigning with Michael Pope. The continuing row over the House of Frazer/Harrods report as Lord Young reveals ‘evidence of wrongdoing’
I had hardly enough sleep last night and made a resolution to try to get to bed earlier this evening. I resumed my work on the backlog of newspaper cuttings and finished extracting them by mid-morning. I had an early lunch and then drove off to buy some brackets and shelves for the conservatory and 50 poster board posts from Tebbutt’s, which I loaded on board. We were expecting Dad to visit after his Addenbrooke’s Hospital appointment and whilst I waited, I sharpened an axe and started making points on the stakes. Once Dad arrived, we had a cup of tea and then went off to Offord Stables to collect Debbie from horse riding.
It was a very chilly and showery day later and she was pleased to get home. This evening, I joined the rest of the Parish Council Planning Committee at Samuel Jones for a meeting to discuss their plans for expansion. We raised a selection of the villagers concerned for the management to consider and respond to. Later, I dropped round to see Michael Pope and discussed our plans for the next few days campaigning. We now have the second batch of leaflets and the posters ready for distribution and so a work party will gather on Saturday morning to use them effectively. The news today is of a continuing row over the House of Fraser/Harrods report, the DTI secretary, Lord Young, having revealed that the report contains ‘evidence of wrong-doing’.
