This morning I visited North Herts CVS (again) to spend a very productive few hours with Jacquie Hime and Steph Gallagher on the HIC development plan. At lunchtime, Jacquie Hime and I travelled to Great Chesterton for a regional meeting of “Consortium Leads”. In the Hertfordshire consortium, we started work on our plan back in July and we will struggle to conclude things by the end December deadline. Given this, I was alarmed to learn that at least three of the region’s consortiums have barely started work on their plans.

In the evening, Jackie and I took Rhiannon’s birthday presents around. Everyone else busied themselves and I got to play Hide and Seek with granddaughter Bethany. Great fun - and I think she enjoyed it as much as I did.

Back home, Jackie complained of her chest thumping. I offered as much sympathy and reassurance as I could.
