I know I asked for your vote in the Total Politics annual Political Blog Awards. Even so, for those who did vote for this blog, you have my most humble appreciation. Thank you. I’m amazed to be placed 15th in the list of TOP 30 Councillor Blogs in the UK, and 60th in the list of TOP 100 Conservative Blogs.

I couldn’t have been paying close enough attention to Iain Dale’s blog, which I admit to pretty much visting daily, because I completely missed his blog on the Top 30 Councillor blog award list on August 15th. Apologies for that. I can’t tell you how often, just now, I’ve asked my dear wife of the significance of number 15.
