The nice weather finally happened over the weekend for once, which made a very busy weekend much more enjoyable.

Friday evening I went with the family and the in-laws to the Worstead festival, where Lisa took part in the five mile run. She has taken up running over the last couple of months and is determined to take part in the London Marathon next year. She did not finish as quickly as she had wanted to, but given that this was her first race and it was also very hot and humid, she did very well. Alex and I are very proud of her.

Saturday started with a team of us out knocking on doors in Hickling finding out what is on people's minds. As ever, the flooding proposals were a big issue, as was the Post Office closure and the loss of local shops.

Then it was over to Sheringham to speak to local people and to launch the campaign to save Sheringham's toilets. You can read more about the campaign here. The turnout was great and showed the level of feeling over this issue.

Sunday was more relaxed. I took Alex off to Wroxham Barns in the morning where, much to Alex's delight, we bottle fed a calf. After a quick train ride at the fairground there, it was back home to tackle the weeds at the end of my garden before heading into the office to check the postbag and answer some letters.

A good weekend made even better by the weather. My only concern as I look out at a very misty morning in North Walsham is whether that really was summer in just three days. Hopefully the sun will come back before next year...
