Well, July went by in a flash! I had some time off work and spent most of it either watching the tennis in the pub, at home, or actually at Wimbledon. I also hosted a 1920’s murder mystery night for Macmillan Cancer which was a great success. We raised £150. Not bad for a night of fun. And last weekend I went to Truck which is a music festival in Oxfordshire. The weather was horrendous and our tents flooded so it was a bit of an effort, but fun was had too. We all came back feeling pretty ill and I feel like I’ve only just recovered tbh. Eek! Getting too old!
