I did have a good conference and didn’t get fed up with people. Stayed in a lovely guest house called Acorn Lodge that had been block-booked by friends from the south.  The proprietors were incredibly helpful and friendly even though I managed to turn up in the middle of the night, and, I’ve just found out, leave with my room key.

I wonder how many Lib Dems are posting keys back to Harrogate tonight.

It was great to catch up with my friends too.  After six years in politics, it seems some of my friends are about to become PPCs.  Well, at least one of them is in a key seat.
