JULY 12th

Me and Ali host a garden partyto say thankyou to Addenbrooke's staff. The weather held and it a lovely sunny day. Our families came, and our friends, and doctors and nurses and the sun shone and we drank a lot of Prosecco and ate well. Me and ali performed a few bits and pieces and so did a delightful little girl called beth who is just starging out on the violin. Towards the end of the day I wasn't exactly sober and no one took up my offer of a pillion ride around the green outside my house! Ali had a great idea for a fundraising sweepstake. You have to guess how many miles I drive to Rome and back. Watch out for more details. I will be taking delivery of the bright red vespa on July 24th.
