Go to bed with an Ice pack!
We had a few hiccoughs in June and l want to thank you all for your support and understanding. We all watched how hard Bob Evans worked to inform us about Wytham while at the same time handling his laptop. No way was I going to complicate it further by adding a microphone into the equation. A new projector lead has now been purchased by Val – thank you!
We welcomed two visitors – Suzanne and Gena.
