July was a difficult month following the disappointing result in the EU referendum. It was also a good month for many different reasons...
- Jake helping me move the stuff from the scout hut to the garage with Barry
- Watching Jake at kick boxing and sparing with Yondan - he was doing well
- Lily's sports day. She was first in both her races and second in the relay, nearly catching a yerar six girl.
- Jake meeting up with friends in the park after school.
- Lily getting her red belt for kick boxing - her first one.
- Re-using Lily's old belt and keeping the old tapes safe.
- Watching 'Evan Almighty' with the family AGAIN, it is such a great feel good movie!
- Lily getting the role of understudy for one of the year 6 girls in the play.
- Jake going on his school trip - 'Bushcraft Skills'

- Jake looking after Lily and her friend at swimming on Saturday
- Lily getting a understudy part of a year six in the play and doing it really well in the dress rehersal to the school
