Down to the last 4 days ...

Monday witnessed the most canvassing we have ever done in a day. The morning session started in Hexham around Priestlands Road, where a crew of 4 of us door-knocked and I came across the following amusing poster (picture, left) attached to a lamp-post.

As we headed over to St. Johns Road I bumped into the Tory candidate, and we exchanged a few friendly words about the campaign and the results we anticipate in a number of North East constituencies. One common experience was noting a complete lack of any discernable LibDem effort on the ground - if the LibDems have been active in the Hexham constituency at this election, its escaped our collective attention.

In the late afternoon we shifted our attention to West Wylam, Prudhoe, where the sun made it a pleasant evening to be out on the doors. We pray for good weather on Thursday.

The hours between and after these two sessions were filled with telephone canvassing Haltwhistle residents.
