Welcome to my new blog.
This will be an occasional indulgence where I hope to share my thoughts on all sorts of random things, whether they be on family life or world events.
I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Caron Lindsay and I am an active Liberal Democrat in Scotland.
The next year is probably the most exciting one yet for our party as we approach the third elections to the Scottish Parliament as well as Council elections, being held for the first time under proportional representation. This was part of the 2003 Partnership Agreement with the Labour Party at the instigation of the Liberal Democrats and will free up many parts of Scotland from the neglectful and contemptuous grip of the Labour Party.
So, there is an exciting 8 months ahead. Election campaigns are a bit like giving birth - as soon as they're over, you forget the bad bits - the lack of sleep, the pain of not seeing enough of the family for months on end, the pressure of trying to meet deadlines, making sure everyone is in the right place at the right time, being a shoulder to cry on when it gets too much for your colleagues, the emotional and physical rollercoaster that is coping with the day to day traumas of a national election. Afterwards, you only remember the adrenalin highs, the team spirit, the sheer fun of it all, as well as the reward at the end.
Feel free to join in - I want this to be a blog where everyone feels comfortable to share their views and has respect for their fellow participants.

I have a dilemma here - I either look like I'm posting cutesy comments or Social Services come down on me like a ton of bricks 'cos Anna is up too late at night.
Well I'm going to have to dodge the bricks. Before you think she was surfing unsupervised, she was with her Daddy but her words were all her's typed in by her. I was quite touched.
