As I write, PHEW! It’s hot!
In the June editorial I reflected on the somewhat distressing and variable weather which we were suffering at that time. And, trying to remain upbeat, I recalled the weather pattern from 1976 when there was a very cold Spring, culminating in a snow blizzard on the 2nd June, only to be followed by one of the hottest summers on record, with the temperature sitting above 80’C for four weeks mid June and into July. So similar to this year’s weather!
Apologies for not managing to include photos of Bridge of Weir Gala last month, but to make amends I’ve managed to save a page this month for a montage. Lots of smiley faces enjoying the freedom of the great outdoors and wall to wall sunshine. Again, congratulations to Gordon Lethorn and his support team for another wonderful day.
Over the last few years we’ve been following our local karting star, Tom Thickpenny. This month we don’t have an article from him since he has been invited to the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix, not to compete but to rub shoulders with the superstars, undoubtedly an experience which will help his blossoming racing career. I hope that once he gets to F1 himself as a driver, I might receive a personal invite to watch him (well, no harm in asking!).
A call to action Ladies! We’re looking for pre-loved, gently used, vintage or designer handbags. On the 20th September, in The Cargill Centre (Kilmacolm), an auction in aid of Orkidstudio is being held and more donations of handbags are required to ensure the night is a great success. See page 5 (over there --->) for further details.
We also have the welcome news that following a successful event last year, Gibb Stuart Home Hardware has decided to again host their CookLive! event in September. More news about this on page 14 and in our next issue.
Happy August everyone!
