Wood smoke is from the lilac tree-the bark and logs smell sweet-not like the flower, but more like Rowntree s  wine gums  Add in the perfume from the Bramley apples baked with honey and cinnamon-it makes for a night to stay by the fire.
Encouraging election results in Nottingham,. Three new and excellent Labour Councillors returned, all with an increased share of the vote. Warm thanks to the many who campaigned in the cold rain. We are facing a bi election here in Leicester in November.  Lets hope we can deliver. We do not need what my old dad used to call armchair or lavatory Socialists, nor the new epithet-keyboard warriors. Although I fear this is what I am becoming. Mind you, I can still boss comrades around a bit when necessary .But we have every intention to deliver a great Labour win. For more on this follow me.
I need followers anyway, preferably up into double figures, before grandson disappears
