					<description>Hi Ed

Thanks so much for replying - it's encouraging to know that you do read all the comments, and I think a little reminder of that now and then can only be a good thing.

I'm going to make more effort to comment, just so you don't feel ignored LOL

Trouble is, I'm not very articulate and don't have a lot of confidence in getting my point of view across.  Which is why it's easier to read and say "hear hear" out loud for the kids and hamsters and dogs to hear (oh, and hubby too!!), rather than commenting here in "public".  I'll try to do better and "talk" to you more - maybe it'll encourage other, less articulate, people to comment as well.  Cos this blog is a great idea, and certainly brings you (the MP) closer to us lesser mortals (your constituents) :)</description>

					<description>Dear Sue

I read all my comments!  Though there aren't nearly enough.  I guess I just feel that the comments section is for my reader(s) and the blog is for me!</description>

					<description>Brilliant - thanks for the link.

By the way, you could take a lesson from them - reply to your comments every so often - give us some illusion that you're reading what we have to say!! :-)</description>
