Irelands played their last game in this World Cup Finals as I watched them lose 2-0 to the Holland team.

Again the sun and heat continued as I donned shorts for much of the day to cope with it. It started cooler at least and I used this chance to take Sam up to Molesworth in the car for a change of scenery.

Celebrating Della's Birthday and also the 10th Anniversary of my newly-found affluence with a bouncy castle and swimming session for her guests on a hot, sunny and humid day.

Later off to Harlow for the afternoon's GSP Club training session where Sam did very well retrieving, send away, go-back, sit, stay, and jumping.

‘Flaming June’ proved to be a gloriously-hot and sunny month of gave political activity with more elections success but also two trips to Norfolk and domestic party challenges.

We commemorated our Fathers’ Days, sold the Rolls Royce and gave my Dad's old Escort Estate to Di’s parents. More property progress at The Hayling View and Cambridge Street, with the first tenants in the latter. I was still running the RHDRA and reviewing the Broads Plan for its impact on our dyke road.

Apart from my visits and election work, we still managed some activities at home dining out, visiting the cinema and fetes.
