Me and my Work: I am one of the three district councillors for Lydbrook and Ruardean, Lydbrook parish councillor and I lead the Labour Group on the district council.

Status: The weirdest thing happened to me today. I was digging a fence-post hole in the garden when our tabby cat Frank came up to me and started to make a big fuss of me. Normally, he ignores me, being much fonder of my wife. Anyway, I felt something moving in my trouser leg and thinking it was an insect, I shook my trouser leg and carried on working. A few seconds later, I felt something moving by my groin. It felt quite big and I feared I was about to be stung by a wasp. I ran behind the garden shed and dropped my pants releasing a startled mouse that ran off into the woods. Frank was less than impressed.
