Me, Dave and Adam in Hartlepool

I spent the weekend in Hartlepool helping out in the by-election. I went up on Friday evening and returning last night with Councillor Dave Radcliffe and Adam Taledia. There was lots of to do up there as the by-election is now only 17 days away! Hopefully our help will have contributed in some way to getting Jody Dunn elected.

To good thing about by-elections is you see people you manage to see that often, it was great to see my friends Eric and Russell who I had not seen for over a year - but that was due to them being abroad. It was also good to see Shaun, Ed, Richard and Brian though I last saw them at the Hodge Hill by-election. Also I had the chance to see my friend Kath who is not a Liberal Democrat but lives in Hartlepool, I first met Kath in Ecuador and then spent six months travelling round South America with her!
