Some time since I last wrote on my blog – will try and improve in the future!!!

Sponsorship money continues to come in. Mike Goodman who works for McCambridge Group as a Project Director very kindly donated £20. I have known Mike for many years and as well as being a great engineer he is the type of man you would wish to work with.

Danny my stepson, who had the accident that started this sponsored cycle off for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance has donated £100. This is an extremely large donation and along with all the other money will make a big difference. Thanks Danny it is really appreciated.

Spent most of this bank holiday working and playing catch up – not much fun but when you are self-employed the client always comes first.

Vanessa was competing at the Berkeley horse show and was very disappointed that Shannon was not placed. They both looked very good and I thought they did well. I know I am biased but when Vanessa and some of the other competitors were going round the judge was not even looking at them. As a non technical observer I would say that she had already made up her mind who was going to be placed almost as soon as the horses entered the ring, she seemed to spend time looking at them but not the others. It is such a shame that the same standard was not uniformly applied.

Berkeley castle is a great backcloth for these events – so impressive, plenty of room to park and many tents etc for people who are not 100% horsey.

Take care and stay safe.
