Charles Kennedy and Simon Hughes meet me at Wood Green Shopping City for a walk about.

Lots of LibDems gathered to meet the party leader and the media of course. We walk through the market halls to real excitement from local shoppers. I guess it is a bit of a surprise to see Charles Kennedy wandering around. But it was a really good feeling and everyone just seemed to be supporting the LibDems!

Then we all buzz off to one of the Abbeyfield care homes for a visit. Really impressed with level of care and lovely environment. Abbeyfield has a great reputation and deserves it. Not sure what the residents made of all of this – and we carefully reduced our numbers actually going in down to three so as not to create too much disturbance.

Had lots of fun talking to those residents who were able to converse – and had a really good laugh with a couple of the ladies there.

Then we departed – and it was back to the more humdrum election occupation of delivering leaflets and stuffing envelopes.
