On another warm and sunny day an early start for our trip to Norwich for some beauty treatment, the Jarold’s bookshop and to study the Broads Local Plan draft.
Then back to Heronshaw for some gardening and off to meet Jim and Ben with Sam for dog training at the Acle Straight this time on Halvergate Marshes.
I had telephoned Mark Rainer and ascertained that his canvas of Hilton "outs" had gone well today, and we continue to haul back the early Tory lead
It was another warm and sunny day with hardly a cloud in the sky and we enjoyed it to the full. We had to get a shift on to be ready to go into the city early this morning as Debbie had booked a complete treatment at the beautician starting at 9.00am! This meant that Diana had to get me up before 7.00am and then I had to walk Sam before a 8.00am breakfast.

Bank Holiday Monday 30th May 1994 - Distracted by my Cambridgeshire EuroElection colleagues, who should have been supporting Mark Rainer for the more likely local election.
Tired to then chair a difficult Ropes Hill Dyke Meeting before we recovered with an outing to Winterton
This was the morning planned for some time as a meeting of the Ropes Hill Dyke residents and, as present Chairman, I was going to have to run the meeting at least to start with. I had a poor night getting used to the bed and then the car alarm kept going off in the small hours when I had got off and so started the day tense and tired to start with.

To St James Church for the Little Paxton Family Service always organised for those months having a fifth Sunday and then to welcome Jim for dog training on the Molesworth set-aside before off to Horning to join the family.
The news is still of the Prime Minister's attack on the begging homeless which has rebounded badly on him as the former minister who ended social security for 17 and 18-year-olds.
A good sleep and little lay in but an argument also with Diana over her wanting to go early to Norfolk today before I was going to be ready. In the end, I let her go off to Norfolk with the girls after the church service. It was the Little Paxton Family Service always organised for those months having a fifth Sunday and we enjoyed walking over to St James Church in the sunshine and attending it.

Arranging a by-election meeting in the Hemingford Abbotts pub and persuading Mark Rainer to agree better arrangements for canvassing to involve more colleagues.
Earlier in the day my efforts had been to get out with Sam twice for some exercise and training and then with the family for lunch.
With Derek this evening to share his grief and family agonies over a close relative dying slowly of cancer.
I soon established in the course of a few telephone calls this morning that Mark Rainer was struggling with his election campaign. The first canvas of the remainder of the ward was unfavourable but then we usually leave the worst bits to last, and they may well have felt deserted until now.
