Home for the weekend

Had an epic day yesterday with a full day - starting with Close House in Wylam. Gave a speech on the economic recovery to the North East Chamber of Commerce. A really good afternoon followed. I am excited as I am going back to take a golfing turn with the great Lee Westwood on May 10th - hopefully he will have won a Major by then - we are all supporting him.
Then a busy day of surgeries followed. Off to prudhoe this morning - the rain is lashing down, then more surgeries.

Tuesday westminster update

A packed programme - off to Downing Street at 2 to see the PM as we all get organised for the AV referendum; I am speaking on the 24th March. We have already put out literally thousands of AV referendum and my leaflets but hope to deliver more before early May.
Keen to hear David Cameron's views in detail on AV referendum.

Home for the weekend

Am tucked up here at home as the snow lashes down. The last time we held the Christmas Fair in Newcastle we got snowed off! This must be fate.
Have seen over 15 people in my surgeries, done a trip to Newcastle for the BBC Sunday show on localism / planning and generally met various other people in the time in between. Last night we met a number of the Tynedale youth teams, and tomorrow it is off to Newcastle and then Durham for an evening do with the local conservatives
May struggle but will try and take in the rugby at some stage...
