Apart from opening a children’s railway at the Cotswold wildlife park ad dropping in to a West Oxfordshire thank-the-candidate drinks, I am at home in the constituency with the family.

Putting up the paddling pool and trying to erect sticks for sweet peas were as exhausting and frustrating as some of my election campaigning (and probably about as effective), but it made a good change. I assumed when becoming leader that the hours after local election campaign would be taken up with endless phone calls and post mortems. But on our side everyone is clearly too exhausted and, bar the odd essential call, I really do get left alone.
