Poppy and the Pit Ponies is a charity set up to rescue ponies from Dartmoor that might otherwise be put down, due to over stocking. Find our more about Poppy and the PitRead More »
Time to join the Dark Side might seem an odd way for a Politician to start a blog post but I promise you I’ve not joined a dodgy cult of Political group. As it is Dark Skies week, I thought I’d say something about why ‘dark’ is good or, in other words, ‘light pollution isRead More »
If you love techy equipment problems then St Ives Lib Dems need you! The local party has been donated a wonderful bit of kit to fold leaflets and even put them in envelopes which could save many volunteer hours BUT, no-one in the Office has the time or skills to get to grips with howRead More »
Moving on; changing gear as I look to 2024. THE LOWS The lows of 2023 have been the death of friends, so my generation beginning to depart and that makes you think!

I respect that not everyone who wants Political Change locally and Nationally will be keen supporters of the Liberal Democrats BUT, in the St IvesRead More »
Lafrowda Festival 2023 was an amazing success despite the weather. We have an amazing community that gets this planned and running smoothly. You will find some amazing photographs on-line and possibly amongst the best are from photojournalist Greg Martin Lafrowda Festival 2023 in pictures I did see many of you around on Lafrowda Saturday but haveRead More »
