Travels of a Fish Nut

So it's all over. I've delivered over 3,000 leaflets and my feet are still recovering, I've spoken to a lot of people and I've even had people say they'll vote for me! How many, I'll find out tomorrow (well, later today by the time this gets posted). It's been interesting and I've learned a lot. There's a great deal I'd do differently if/when I run again but I'm just really pleased that I've actually done it. I've stood as a candidate for the county council! My name's been on an official ballot paper!!

“Welcome to Nailsea, Free Parking” That’s what the signs into town used to read. It always seemed to me to be an odd sort of thing to advertise, as if Nailsea didn’t have anything else going for it. Given that the newer signs proudly announce that a decade ago we were placed in Britain in Bloom, that may well be the case. But free parking was a draw and it still is. Given that Nailsea has almost 1,000 free spaces available maybe that’s no surprise. It’s arguably one reason the town centre is still relatively vibrant, at least in comparison to many in the area.
