I blogged regularly during the general election and really enjoyed it. One of the very few positives of Labour not being in government means that there is a bit more space to think and plan.

I’ve still not worked out exactly how this blog is going to work – other than that I’ve signed up for dailypost and am determined to make a good start. I hope that it becomes a unique and interesting mix of Arbourthorne / Sheffield, Labour, young parenthood, the voluntary sector, social enterprise and public policy.

I don’t have a great track record on starting diaries – I’ve got at least three that finish somewhere in early February. I’ve no doubt that I’ll get it wrong from time to time, but given the prospects for 2011 – I hope it proves an interesting New Year’s resolution for everyone.
