Ashes to ashes for election escape plans

For those who planned a holiday now to avoid the election, this must be a terrible day. Airports closed due to ash in the air from an Icelandic volcano. Airspace closed, planes grounded. Holidaymakers stuck in the UK. Maybe this is Iceland's reply to the UK's decision during the banking crisis to use terrorism powers to seize Icelandic assets.

This morning I had a very useful meeting with environmental services. On the agenda were flower beds, hanging baskets, tree planting, new recycling bins and litter. Meeting was in Chase Park in Whickham. From there I headed off to deliver some more Focuses. Back home now to start work on writing the next Parliamentary Campaigner.
