Great weather but hard going underfoot, especially if you are racing. The Point-to-Point at Ideford Arch was great fun on Easter Monday - and we had a good turnout to watch the races. But the ground was hard going for the horses. Most impressive perhaps were the young rider and pony events - boy do those ponies move!
The week has been spent primarily on foot canvassing and delivering leaflets - on Tuesday it was in Coffinswell and Newton Abbot, on Wednesday in Kingsteignton and Broadhempston, on Thursday Kingsteignton and Daccombe, Friday in Combeinteignhead and Saturday in Newton Abbot.
A General Election could quite literally be called at any time and much may well depend on whether Tony Blair's successor is Brown or Milliband. To this end I have now put together my campaign team who with me will fight the next general election. Our inaugural meeting was not only very constructive but also a lot of fun. If any of you have been watching the poles' predictions - we are on current form looking at a 4% win for the Newton Abbot seat! But we cannot and will not be complacent - even a week is a long time in politics when very much can change!
Back to the pavements for another week!

About Me
- Anne Marie
- My family (the Putts and the Blakes) can trace their Devon roots back hundreds of years to generations of ship chandlers, fishermen and merchant seaman. My aunt, Meg Putt, was Headmistress of a primary school in Brixham. The combination of my Devon heritage and love of the area, and my business experience will help me to fight to retain all the things that are great and wonderful about this area and to ensure that change (where necessary!!) benefits the lives of the people living here while retaining the charm, appeal and beauty of Devon.
