Final Rally

Had been asked to stay for this although I had been planning to come back early to do some local stuff. Charles made what, for him, was a very personal speech. He is clearly looking forward very much to being a father and Sarah (his wife) is absolutely glowing. When he said he had personally never felt happier or more fulfilled it was clear that a large part of that was down to her.
We all left Harrogate feeling very upbeat and optimistic about the next couple of months but also knowing that it is all going to be rather hard work.
