My mum is the same age as MGM·Lion [a month older actually]..

She prides herself on never having missed an election, except for the recent Police and Crime Commissioner Elections,
as she was quite ill with bronchitis & confusion since January.

I'm about to catch a train to spend the afternoon with her.
The plan being if the weather is not too bad, we'll try and walk the 1/4 mile or so to the polling station.

She lives in an extremely conservative part of SW England, so knows her vote has been futile for most of her life,
But she believes voting to be her privilege and duty...

Mum jokes about the tories dragging their elder voters from their death beds on polling days..

Must remember her reading glasses so she doesn't put her "X" in the wrong box....
