I've had a 3 day rest from blogging but not from the campaign. Saturday morning was spent researching affordable housing issues while in the afternoon my wife volunteered to go out delivering in the village while I went to Coleford to meet our local councillors, members and deliverers in that area. There's something very civilised about starting a meeting with scones, jam and clotted cream in a lovely old farmhouse. By the time I got home about 630 we decided to finish the day by walking all of 20 metres to our local pub to have a meal there.



On Sunday I managed to deliver leaflets to the parts of the village my wife hadn't got to and the weather stayed dry which was a bonus - but she must have done at least two thirds of the village.



Easter Monday started early with our re-arranged visit to the Thermae Bath Spa. We decided to start off in the rooftop open air pool just after 9am. Its unbelievably warm - almost hot - which together with all the bubbles from the jacuzzi nozzles created a quite surreal effect on what was a cold rainy day. By the time our session finished about 1130 we certainly felt completely relaxed and it was an effort to do anything else at all for the rest of the day. To shake off our lethargy we took a bundle of leaflets and went delivering round some of the more isolated hamlets and single dwellings around the more remote areas of the division.



As my wife was using her (green) car it's now what I would call army camouflage colour from all the wet, muddy lanes- so that's another cleaning job for me sometime.
