Midsummer July!

Halfway through the year already as we welcome the month of July and its stunning lazy days,

And look forward to family time, and either holidays overseas or easy UK based home stays.

So much is happening again from the massive 12-hour extravaganza of the Sodbury Fest

With local ales, food stalls, and performances from bands like the Groove Jacks and all the rest!

The Shooting Stars are putting on an energetic production of the Queen’s musical We Will Rock You,

Plus at nearby Badminton the RHS Flower Show takes place with designer show gardens to view.

Wimbledon kicks off once again with its manicured courts, weather talk, and strawberries and cream

As we discuss heatwaves and having to reshuffle our lives around shade and the pesky Jetstream!

So let’s enjoy this wonderful month with the lavender fields at their best and sunflowers too,

With berries ripening in the hedgerows and farms accompanied by some bubbles and a corkscrew!
