September 1995 - A mild and damp month, wet and muddy for walking my dog Sam but one where he was second fiddle to me living in my new relationship with my passionate Wiggly.
With her, we had received the ‘All Clear’ from Dr Edgar at our important clinic appointments.
She had a doubly emotional automobile month having her own old Astra car damaged with hooliganism and breakdowns and then crashing my own Discovery.
Wiggly combined her new role as St Neots Town Councillor with helping me at Redgrave and still enjoying her amateur dramatics, winning her preferred role as Fatima in Sinbad.
Lots of film, theatre and meal outings followed as well as river trips in my boat.
We drove to Glasgow for the Liberal Democrat Party Conference heard Michael Grade, the Channel 4 Director, Jim Wallace MP, the leader of the Liberal Democrats in Scotland and met Paddy Ashdown again.
I was still missing the girls but meeting up with them and Daniel whilst attending the pond filters at The Hayling View.
Debbie from her Kimbolton School 6th form party and Della starting the main school.
This month was all about Redgrave too, where we greeted Sarah Francis on her first day as the shop manager.
We completed the Spar forms together and made our decision to go with them as our wholesaler and meetings followed thick and fast.
I briefed local councillors in a private briefing and then addressing a meeting of Redgrave Parish council with some 50 or so local residents present enlisting their support for the revamped shop, ordering £13,500 worth of equipment for a revamp and starting newspaper deliveries.
I met representatives from Post Office Counters who had come to interview me successfully for the job of sub-postmaster.
This month, there was a strong NATO air attack on the Bosnian Serb artillery positions with planes from the US, UK and France taking part with one French plane shot down
