A week on the road
Posted by Ellee on Apr 25, 2009 in Euro election | 13 commentsAs you can imagine, I have had a busy week working on the 
Euro election, in fact I was in a different county in the Eastern region almost every day.
Conservatives are feeling very positive and looking forward to the grassroots work in the constituency which MEPs and candidates will visit over the next six weeks.
Here is a link of a video I made this week with our “cusp” candidate John Flack who has a personal slogan, “Give Europe Flack”.
On the personal side, my son James was in another great school production this week and sang beautifully. I am so pleased he is going to study drama at A’level, even though he did give up his top drama school for golf! I was very much the proud mum as I watched him sing a hit from Take That and perform an amazing scene from Blood Brothers.
My eldest son David has come home from Hull uni this weekend especially to support Cambridge United tomorrow in their desperate play-off against Altrincham who are hoping to be promoted back into the Football League. He brought his usual bag of dirty washing with him! He will also want feeding up with his favourite roast dinner, but then, what are mums for…
And my hard working husband is wishing he had not agreed to do some tiling in the bathroom on his day off yesterday having somehow made a hole in the bath. I really did feel for him.
*I promise a visit to my favourite blog sites over the weekend.
Elle: I have done tiling and feel for your Huby too!

seems like being a mom at the same time career woman is looks like a hard role while reading this. But what makes it all worth the effort is seeing your family at the end of the day sharing each others success and be happy.
Well you never visited me… damnit!
You sound like you’ve been really busy out on the road, Ellee.
So David survived his Spanish jaunt?
So glad you’re enjoying your work and your son is enjoying his and doing well (commiserations to hubby, he has my sympathy as anything DIY always seems to cost more than you think – I should have shares in B&Q).
Did you see the story of the teacher who was suspended when he expressed his Christian views on being forced to attend a ‘training day’ on homosexuality and diversity? Poor man isn’t enjoying his work now. So I agree with the slogan – “Give Europe Flack”. Too many well intentioned ideas have been used to further agendas not originally intended.
Sounds like life is really busy at the moment Ellee! You take care now.
CherryPie, I also spent a day in the Cotswolds this week attending a course at the SPECAL centre on the A-word. http://www.specal.co.uk/
Wow! you have had a busy week. I thought I was busy but it is nothing compared to you. Good luck with it all
Maalie, that sounds like a great tip, many thanks. And enjoy Spain. I look forward to reading about it on your return.
Ah, a hole in the bath? I did that to mine a couple of years ago, I dropped a big sea-shell into it and it landed on its pointed apex and made a neat round hole in the bath! What you need is some fibre-glass boat hull repair kit (also called “plastic padding”), fill the hole and Bob’s your uncle!
I’m off to Spain tomorrow for a week’s birdwatching with a Spanish tour group – should be fun!
JMB, yes,too busy sometimes. And after a day spent looking after my mother, I now face an evening of ironing. But I am looking forward to a nice long walk tomorrow in a bluebell wood.
You are a busy lady. Have a good weekend with your family.
