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!!

Since I've moved home my brain has gone to sleep and my practical side has awakened. I've tidied gardens, decorated rooms and done DIY inside and out. I've done most of the stuff on my 'to do' list and my creative side has been looking for other outlets until the spring arrives and I can get out into the garden.  I've had a passing fascination with calligraphy for, well, forever. We've had a book on calligraphy in the family for years and I've often thought of learning but never got round to it. Well, I've run out of excuses and so I've decided that this is the year when I'm going to try my hand at this ancient art-form.
