The rain held off as S Dorset went to the polls. I began the day on Portland Bill, before dropping in on the Coastwatch tower to thank the volunteers for all that they do. I did the same thing at the beginning of the last two elections and is now a routine. Had a cuppa and chatted to two charming watchkeepers for 30 minutes before moving on to visit as many polling booths as possible to thank the staff who manage them all day. I had to have my bacon buttie as Miss Piggies in Easton Square on the way - another vital part of my election routine! By seven in the evening, I had visited many of the polling booths, ending at the one in the British Legion in Wool. It was then time for supper and the wait to be called down to the Ocean Room in the Pavilion for the result. What would the result be?
