General Election!

Well only a few days to go! There is something really exciting about the run up to General Election for political nerds like me!  Of course every party activist, despite which party, have butterflies regarding outcome but nevertheless we all like to think that the tremendous effort will pay off.

This morning I went to support Anne Main and our local councillors in St Albans Market.  The weather was typical Bank Holiday weather ....absolutely freezing!  However this didn't dent the enthusiasm or great atmosphere.  We were joined by a team of young volunteers who made the morning a lot of fun with their placards and balloons! Lots of interesting discussions and constructive comments.....

Great to get home to a warm bowl of soup.... well it is May...........

Next "telling" on Thursday and then the long night waiting for results!!  Happy Days :)

Farmers Market.....

Great day at Farmers Market in St Albans - little more expensive but not by much... The maker runs every second Sunday in every month and is with a trip for the food, the atmosphere and also today for the jazz band!!

We bought a punnet of tomatoes, giant purple cauliflower, giant savoy cabbage, 6 courgettes, 12 carrots, bag of new potatoes, large quantity of sprouts........all for £8.20!

The size of the cauli and cabbage are huge difficult to see from photo ....but this will keep us going for well over a week probably even a fortnight and will probably end up freezing some of it.

We finished off excursion with a long Sunday lunch........bliss :)
