The holiday is over and its back to work. It’s been a pleasant two weeks off for this blogger, had a couple of days in North Wales, pottered around at home doing a few neglected jobs, a trip to Hampton Court Palace to Henry’s old place, which was an interesting day, and of course, our Walsall UKIP branch held our fund raising garden party on Saturday which proved to be a very good social occasion which also raised a few pounds for the kitty.
It looks as if the money raised will soon be needed to fund a forthcoming Council by-election due to the sad loss of Walsall Councillor, Albert Griffiths. It always seems a bit ghoulish when someone dies and the first thing all the local political activists think of is when the by-election is to be held. His funeral is to take place this coming Friday and on the following Monday the Walsall Elections Office will post a notice of vacancy. No doubt, just as we in UKIP have been doing, all the other political parties in the borough will be deciding who their candidate is to be. It will also be interesting to see if the Liberal Democrats get a pounding again, that party is in real trouble, especially if we in UKIP can beat their vote when we never even campaigned in a by-election or did any work at all.
Now I have got to knuckle down to things and start putting a few more posts on this blog, I have got my Euro Realist newsletter too to complete before the end of the month and not to forget the UKIP conference in Torquay on the 3rd & 4th September, so its back to it, a hot and sweaty keyboard awaits.
