On the 5th September, Muddie, our Westie, died at the age of just under 16 years old. Muddie has been with me through all my elections and was my companion as I carried out my duties as a councillor for Ryde Appley and Elmfield. She died of liver failure. Julia and I are still in shock and miss her dreadfully. She was a real character and a key part of my identity as a councillor.
