Indeed. We will have to see if the recent poll will lead to a further movement.

Hi Daryl, no, it was welcomed. Yes, the turnout aspect will be interesting, as will the meaning applied to it by commentators! If voting is even lower than before, who didn't vote. Lot of food for thought.

Hi Daryl, I agree with you there. I take your point on postindustrial, but in a Conversation piece, there are few other words in town. Also, the stay at home element is important. Intrigued how that will compare to the polling. The weather may also determine! It's a lovely valley, great picture!
