A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Though flawed, our own Liberal Democrat Eynesbury By-election Day ran from our Luke Street committee room was far superior to our party-political opponents as we had tellers at the three polling stations and volunteers ‘knocking up’ electors and offering lifts. Therefore our candidate was easily elected!
I do not think that I have ever had an election day that had been easy but this was one of the most difficult of the lot. For a start, it was another very hot and humid day.

Frantic remedial preparations on the Eve of Eynesbury By-election Poll, putting together teams of volunteers into a team but leaving until the next day the setting up the polling day computers and committee room.
A full day of frenetic activity in preparation for tomorrow which had to be co-ordinated with walking Sam and other chores.

As my family stayed in Norfolk on another hot day but Debbie had a bad leg and so Diana was thwarted in her plans to take both daughters to the dinosaur park.
I left Horning to Paxton to review our Eynesbury election campaign and some of the problems that had arisen with our delivery of our leaflets and health problems of our candidate.
Another hot day for me to pack up and get ready for my trip home to Paxton. I packed my tool box as well as things for Sam and me in case I was to run into any maintenance problems upon my arrival.

A far more comfortable pattern of sun and cool breeze today for our trip to Norwich for shopping, a service for my Discovery and a visit to the Castle Museum where we enjoyed the exhibits and tour of the battlements and dungeons.
Back to Horning for some fishing and then evening cinema in Cromer to see "Maverick" which we all thoroughly enjoyed.
The weather had now settled into a far more comfortable pattern of sun and cool breeze which the average Englishman finds more bearable than the continental heat of late.

Keeping the girls amused Strawberry Picking, visiting Wroxham Barns for lunch, and then having a successful fishing session with Della. The rest of the evening watching Brazil beat Italy in the World Cup Final
Yet another fine day and a change of activities from recent days.

Trips to Latham’s in Potter Heigham and Winterton beach on a dull but mild day and then on to Cromer cinema to see the new film "Beverley Hill-Billies".
Home to update my journal before bed and to have a row with Diana about the girls giving up their piano lessons.
The weather continued dull but mild which made for another ideal day for doing things.
