A quick note to apologise for my absence!

It ‘s a good job I made a quick recovery – dinner with John Major on Friday night, lots of pictures to post on Monday.

Meeting in Biggleswade today to talk about how on earth we find some land in Bedfordshire, 10 acres to be exact, to find space for a BMX track – pictures of that meeting and more information later in the week.

Sunday morning I will be laying a wreath at the remembrance ceremony in Ampthill.

A conversation with a fellow MP went like this today, him to me “I don’t do any housework laundry or anything domestic. How can you possibly do this job with the hours it takes and that kind of stuff as well?”. Me to him, “I’ve no idea”.

I was loading my shopping into the trolley at Tescos at the time, praying that I could get another load of washing in, empty the dishwasher, walk the dogs and wash the kitchen floor before I left for Biggleswade.

I need a wife.....
