As the old saying goes, "If you don't like the weather in Edinburgh, hang around 5 minutes".
That was certainly the case in Craigmount, Wester Broom and South Gyle today as I experienced hail, snow, sunshine and freezing cold conditions during a positive day on the campaign trail.
It was an interesting and educational day, discussing issues such as schools, elderly care (I was actually horrified at one particular story relayed to me), potholes and parking on pavements with 100's of residents. I even had one resident tell me that she put a fence round her garden as a result of finding two youths having sex in her garden!!
It is abundently clear that a lot of people are looking for change at the Council come May 3rd.
Now, I am not as deluded as some to suggest that everyone is voting for me. That would be foolish and unwise. Indeed, I still chuckle at the level of activists and candidates who proclaim on Twitter etc to have had a cliche-tastic 'great day on the doorstep'.
However, with my growing record of action delivered in the ward since my selection, together with more positive outcomes to be announced shortly, I believe that I have made and will continue to make the case to encourage residents to come out on May 3rd and vote Conservative for a change.
