A drop of good cheer for the New Year....

Well it's been over a month since my last post, as there was nothing to report. I have to admit that I was beginning to think that we were grinding to a halt. But the posty brought a spark of hope yesterday from Peter Ainsworth MP, Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The letter was personally signed by him rather than from one of his team. I'm taking this as a positive sign that he at least has had site of what we are trying to achieve rather than it just having been processed by the Secretary of States office. Again we find ourselves in a waiting game as obviously the higher up the ladder we go the slower the process becomes. Mr Ainsworth has "forwarded (my) correspondence onto the Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs asking for his comments." and he will write again when he has received a response. So we're not done yet, and I'm looking forward to seeing at where this avenue takes us. In the meantime ...... Merry Christmas (I hope that Santa brings you all the gear that you've been dreaming about!!) and a Most Excellent New Year!!!!
