A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Recuperating at our hotel and spending the day at The Glasgow Conference Centre for day of speeches, conversations and fringe meetings.
After relaxing in the hotel together, it was back to the conference hotel by car for the fringe activities.
The British Film Industry was one topic and we were addressed by Michael Grade, Channel 4 Director. Later, we caught the end of ALDC meeting which Chris Rennard was addressing
We did not feel too bad today considering what we had been through the day before and even made breakfast in time for the 9.30am deadline.

Driving to Glasgow for the Liberal Democrat Party Conference when Wiggly crashed the Discovery.
She then saved the day with her trusty membership of the RAC, whose long suffering staff first recovered the Discovery from the carriageway and then relayed it all the way back to Sawtry.
Then back home to collect Wiggly's Astra to resume a very tiring journey all the way up to Glasgow for a sound nights sleep in a nice room at the Ambassador Hotel in Kelvin Drive.
We were soon ready to get going having only to prepare ourselves and eat breakfast whilst Sam was enjoying his holiday in Wymondham.

Further Redgrave work before watching Norwich City draw against Millwall before dropping Sam off for a holiday with Jim in Wymondham.
The drive back to Montagu St for the night, collecting Debbie from her Kimbolton School 6th form party.
Up early without needing the alarm to bring a tray of tea to Wiggly still sleeping on my bunk in the boat.

A successful day at Bury St Edmunds Magistrates Court securing approval for the Wines & Spirits License Transfer for Redgrave Drinks sales.
Visits from Alan Brunton of software company RSA and the arrival of the party of four from Spar which was useful because they were able to tie up on the operation of the computer system with Blakemore data files.
Then with CSL shop-fitting representative and ordering £13,500 worth of equipment.
A rush to get to Norwich in time to walk the dog by the river and then see ‘An Inspector Calls’, the JB Priestley war time play which was on at the Theatre Royal.
It was pouring with rain this morning and this continued most of the day.

A normal day tending the pond filters and walking the dog and the girls again to Little Paxton bus stop.
Then on to the clinic where both Wiggly and I received the ‘All Clear’ from Dr Edgar at our important clinic appointments.
Up early again to make a start on our priorities and continue with our stock check analysis.

A busy Redgrave Day, delivering newsletter around the village, signing up with Video Box Office 93 videos, meeting with fellow neighbours as a private briefing and then addressing a meeting of Redgrave Parish council with some 50 or so local residents present
Another early start to our normal routine. Wiggly had used Chris Howes’ photocopier to reproduce large quantities of newsletters for Redgrave store and after dropping me off at the shop she set about delivering them all round the village.
