Mistakes? There'll be some. Nobody sensible will claim that governing is easy, not least when there is a 14-year backlog of neglect. But we've embarked on a renewed Britain.

Exhausted, bearded, undernourished, and unwashed. But the final push was worth it in the end. Now, I can finally settle and embrace life's adventures again.
