Crumlin welcomes Margaret

Today, Monday 26th April, I welcomed SDLP Leader Margaret Ritchie to Crumlin. Walking down the Main Street we spoke to people who stopped Margaret to congratulate her on her fantastic work as Social Development Minister, others who spoke to Margaret about the weather, whilst wishing her all the best in her own constituency of South Down.

A brisk walk down Main Street in the sunshine was then followed by an hour and a half of solid canvassing. The Crumlin residents were very welcoming to both myself and Margaret. Manys a time we were offered a cup of tea, and as tempting as this may have been, we had to carry on with the canvass.

Knock, knock, ring ring, tap tap... 'Will you be voting Sir?'      'You are guarateed my vote, Michelle'

All the above are the sounds of a successful canvass...
