I woke up on Friday to a text: Did you know Nick Clegg is
here today?
I didn't know, but replied That certainly trumps what I
was going to do that day. (Which was, rather like other days, to visit houses,
deliver leaflets and talk to voters).
In fact, in the morning I was also going to a meeting of
the National Trust's Farne Islands Advisory Committee (which does what it says
on the tin); they had an interesting guest speaker from ITOPF talking about the
effects of marine pollution on wildlife; ITOPF is an organisation that advises
on cleaning up oil pollution in particular. But during the talk I had an ear to
what was going on in Seahouses outside for crowds welcoming Clegg.
As it turned out, he visited Belford but not apparently
many people knew or came out. Equally, the serious hail storm in the afternoon
curtailed my house visits.
