An early morning to join the family for breakfast and then I settled down at my computer to edit focus copy, we joined by Sally Percy and Michael to sort out the rest of the copy, after which I had to draft my initial reactions to the Huntingdonshire Draft Local Plan to brief Michael before his Town Council meeting tonight. I attended that meeting this evening with the Parish Chairman, but neither of us could speak. Later Diana and the family to the Kimbolton statute fair, where we won a goldfish.
I enjoyed a restful night, but I was still tired when Di woke me up at 7 am with my mug of tea. I forced myself out of bed, to dress and shower so as to arrive at breakfast for 7:30am. The children were quite quiet; Daniel seemed almost groggy as if you been up late to bed but he assured me that he had not. I settled down at my computer and edited and supplemented Sally Guinee’s new Focus copy on campaigns and recycling, which I have dubbed ‘Campaign Corner’. It is quite compelling staff will be read and appreciated.

Then, at 10:10am, I had Sally, Percy and Michael coming for a meeting to sort out the rest of the copy and order article priorities for the Focus. A good session until lunch and then Michael and I resumed afterwards to complete the Priory and Little Paxton local interest sessions. I also had to quickly write and print my initial reactions to the Huntingdonshire Draft Local Plan to brief Michael before his Town Council meeting tonight. After tea, I attended that meeting, along with Little Paxton Parish Chairman, John Knight, and we had to watch from public benches – as we would not be allowed to speak. Upsetting how so much can be talked of Little Paxton by neighbouring St Neots, yet we cannot comment on it! At 8:30pm, I left them to it and was collected by Diana and the family for a trip to the Kimbolton Statute Fair. We all enjoyed it and I won a small goldfish for the girls, but we were back for too late and I was not able to get to bed until nearly midnight.
