Not for the first time, Anne came to the rescue. We’d both been invited to an event in Masham to find out about the forthcoming Mayoral elections for North Yorkshire and York, on 2nd May and hear about one of the hopeful candidates. The evening meeting started at six o’clock.
No-one else was available to cover the last hour of work, so it would have to be one of us at the meeting and one at the practice. Anne agreed to forego the meeting and come in so I could be en route by half past five. Batman, the stoic terrier with a complicated illness, was my final patient. The blood sample, which I hoped would provide us with some answers, filled my syringe easily and quickly, without any problem. I hoped there would be no big surprises for Anne.
There were some delicious canapés, and some friendly faces I already knew, along with others I’d yet to meet. The evening was very pleasant, with brief but informative talks from a parliamentary peer along with our Mayoral candidate. I can summarise some of the details. I was not- I suspect like many people- totally au fait with the new position up for democratic grabs, so I had much to learn. It’s basically a vote for the person in charge of North Yorkshire and York.
