The best bits of July 2026

In absolutely no particular order here are the best bits of July 2026. The photos have uploaded in a random order.

Back to St Andrew's pre season frendly against FC Barcelona. We won on penalties 3-2 and a visit from Jude Bellingham.

Camping trip on my own for two nights to Coleford.

Making friends with the locals, they followed me up along the hedge to the gate.

Spent the day walking along the the Wye, zig zagging between England and Wales with my friend of 29 years.

Couldn't be bothered to wait for the bus to my great nephews (Thing 3) rugby training, so I ran the 4 miles and begged son for a lift back.

I was supposed to drop the cat pole off at my friends on the way but she was delayed at work, so it came camping with me, I reassured the campers next to me I didn't have the cat with me, the little girl was disappointed.

I treated myself to day out doing the things I used to do with Stephanie, I really needed it.

Stephanie's rose smells beautiful, gift from a friend last year top mark the first anniversary.

Been uploading clothes to sell on vinted, been doing very well.

Can't believe how much is flowering considering how little rain we've had.
