I have been quiet on the blogging front for a little while now as I've been busy with Lib Dem campaigning and doing some post-election door-knocking.
One of the wisest quotes I ever heard was from an old farmer friend who told me that the two most important things in life were a good pair of shoes and a sturdy bed.
While I have wonderful pair of brown brogues I recently made the fatal mistake of buying some £19.99 black TK Maxx shoes. I have now renamed them my 2010 Westminster Election shoes and as you can see from the picture they have a hole the size of some of the potholes voters complained to me about.
