My friend's sister, who lives in Rishton, says the whole place is buzzing, because it appears that Rishton is 'the chosen place', and where the Conservative candidate has moved to.

There's excited talk about the house prices in the area benefiting from the association. Though personally I think they're all getting a bit giddy, because of the fabulous news.

Talk of importing sand, and making a beach at the sailing club, and even building a pier there, with trendy cafés, I personally feel is a little premature.

Apparently the residence isn't too far from where the last Conservative candidate, poor James Mawdsley 'lived'.

Perhaps she's just taken over his lease, or perhaps there's just an empty house in Rishton, kept especially for election times, for any visitor from outside the area who decides to stand in the election, and who need a place to rest their weary head, after a hard day's campaining.

Of course all this giddy gossip in Riston might prove to be just rumour, and wishful thinking, because as far as I'm aware no one has actually seen Ms. Buckley putting out the milk bottles on her front step, or hanging out her washing on the line.

Watch this space.
