Our eldest was away at Brownie camp on the North Norfolk coast at the weekend. It was her first time away from home by herself apart from friend sleepovers. On our way to collect her we made a family day-out with her younger sisters to Felbrigg Hall  where there’s a cool tree you can crawl into and climb up on the inside.

Stopping at traffic lights near Norwich airport we saw Chloe Smith MP chatting away on her phone in a rather nice looking shocking pink coat. It will be disappointing for her if she loses and will have been an MP for only a year but no doubt she’ll bounce back.

It’s the eve of election day and I’ve been tasked to deliver tellers to various polling stations for 7am in my vehicle – the irony! And all day I’ll be ‘knocking-up’ voters and fixing our toilet and being in for the washing machine repair guy – both of which decided not to work on the same day.

The eldest wants to vote with me. And unlike last time where I asked her view in the polling booth there will be no last-minute change off mind – it will be Adrian Ramsay!
