What helps me in my day job and my poetry world these days is less is more. Im usually a maximalist- wanting more of everything- particularly books!! But after getting ill last year - my friend Ingrid was such a wise friend. She has written a book! Its a wise one… i hope it helps you.

Yesterday, I attended CIO Watercooler LIVE in Merchant Taylors' Hall. AI was the central topic. A very informative and interesting day in a fantastic, historic venue in The City.

This weekend #unfest #TunbridgeWells

It was via unfest and the Ukulele Group TWUNTS that we discovered there was Music in the Wells. At that time (2011) poorly shared by the local press.

Hopefully social media made things better since then.

The pandemic wasn't helpful, but now back on track?

Yesterday's result from the count for the TWBC Park ward by-election.

Liberal Democrat support is still strong since last year's surge with their GE campaign.

Conservatives have done well with the growing Reform vote.

I clearly need to work harder next time, if I choose to stand again.

One week today.

1st May.
Don't forget to vote in the local elections.

I am the Alliance candidate in:

KCC's Tunbridge Wells South division election
+
TWBC's Park ward by-election (due to a resignation)

I will work hard, again, to represent residents.

I believe in honesty, integrity & transparency in public service.
