Refreshed!

Well after a weekend in London I've returned to the West Country full of beans (well not exactly but lots of Italian food!) London was the Beach Boys, Kew Gardens and a very good Italian restaurant in Richmond. But slightly spoilt by waking up to a blizzard on Sunday morning.

Monday was back into the day job in the Emergency Department. It was a routine day - whatever that is in A&E. Getting home was a trial because the A36 is shut for 3 months due to roadworks and my home village is badly affected. Over an hour to do 8 miles! - and I'm supposed to live in the country. I can recall one memorable early morning when I worked in Pimlico that it took me just 90 minutes to drive 110- miles - those were the days.

After work tonight its off to Mells to go canvassing then back to my home village for a meeting, followed by a quick dinner then ringing round the village because there all sorts of queries from locals about a new planning application that might encroach on undeveloped land and also there are Travellers supposedly setting up camp in the green belt.

I suppose I must have some uses as instead of going to the Parish or District Councillor many seem to come to me for advice. It's really just like the Archers!
