Lord Bonkers' Diary: Alpacas sitting in the front row

And so another week with Rutland's most celebrated fictional peer draws to a close. I also found the The Blue Bell that weekend and can heartily recommend it. York remains a wonderful city.

Sunday

What with the badgers and the nuclear warheads, I give the leader’s speech a miss and spend my time in The Blue Bell, Fossgate, instead. I am told Ed Davey had those alpacas he met the other day sitting in the front row. Poor empty-headed creatures, they will vote for anyone who admires their hairstyles.

Lord Bonkers was Liberal MP for Rutland South West, 1906-10.

Earlier this week...

• In the corners, nooks and crannies
• “It’s not your aerial, it’s your constitution”
• Look out for the Chesham Bois
• Unpleasant scenes outside the hall
• Today even their gaunt ruins have been razed
• We found them Terribly Fiddly
