Trying to pull together all the loose strings of constituent work prior to being able to take a bit of time off for a break. Hopefully get a post up by the weekend.<br /><br />Haven't seen the 'news' at all this week.

Same goes to James Eondel and those other youngssters - Dan Wimberley and Roy le Herissier for their part too. <br /><br />A really good turnout from the public too although I'm sure the JEP will whittle the figure down when 'reporting' it. <br /><br />If I had one criticism it would be with regard to a couple of well established 'Progressives' who relly appear unable to resist going up the front and showboating everytime a camera is around.
