Well, here we are already, halfway through the year after what I'm sure for most of us was a scorching and very dry June. But I'm sure we've all benefited from the clear skies even if our back gardens look like shredded wheat.

June was a good month, helped of course by the fabulous weather and blue skies. Mostly seen from home, but did pay quick trips to Kingston Deverill, Halesland, Fairford and Westlands, Yeovil

June was indeed a good month, it was probably the first time I had two consecutive months of breaking the 200 barrier, although only just with 201 for June...
July has got off to different start with a single Heli gracing the books with G-JKJA A109 O/F..
It was then off to the local where my beloved works, she has raised well in excess of £2000 for our local hospice, and has had her head shaved for the cause, I'm so very proud of what she has achieved in such a short time, and also to all the regulars and businesses for there generous donations. The hair has gone to a foundation that makes real wigs for those who are undergoing treatments. There is nothing else to say except " I love her"

She sounds like a very special lady Chris, and that's a load of money to raise for such a worthy cause. Well done to her.
A rather steady start to July for me, nothing on the 1st but then, I was at Devizes Beer Festival all day

All these brand new Ryans take some keeping up with!
Just the one for me yesterday but it was a good one, routing from Paphos to St Athan, presumably for scrapping, passed to my north in clear sky.
