The mist was clearing as I headed to Swanage on my motorbike. I went to attend the Branch's AGM at the Conservative Club. They could not have been kinder about my dear Mum. It was well attended and our special Chairman, Cheryl, is generously staying on for another year. We heard briefly from our two unitary authority candidates and I said a few words myself. The Members are a very special team and I am immensely fond of and grateful to them all. Following Mum's passing, there were many phone calls to make. When the sun did finally appear, it was the most glorious day.
