JUNE-WAS THAT SUMMER?

 A couple of days at the end of the month were actually sunny and warmbut it was back to grey by the months demise.

It seems the whole country is moaning about the England football team, they are desperately inept at passing forward and actually running but somehow they are winning,I DONT KNOW HOW.

A general election is about to take place too,politicians of all parties are as inept as the footballers and the managers are equal to Southgate in their ability to inspire.

Anyway back to business with a few photos to perhaps add some cheer
