Up early this morning on what must be the hottest day so far. During the course of the day my car registered 34 degrees Celsius! I drove to Durrington to pick up Sarum Lodge's newest member to take him to the 3Rs Conference at Calne Masonic Centre - a journey of about an hour. The Conference was well attended and some very useful work was done and good discussions held on the topic of retaining and recruiting new members. There were also a few horror stories too - one in Swindon of which I knew the background but didn't let on. I couldn't touch the steering wheel when I got in the car to leave at 1.30 p.m. I returned back to Winterslow, after returning John to Durrington and stopping for a much needed ice cream at Amesbury, at around 3 p.m. and called in at the Church Fete. There were not as many people there as normal - people were either at the seaside or staying indoors to follow the cricket - England were putting on runs at a fair lick. Sara had a stall outside painting nails. I bought a book of raffle tickets and had a cup of tea and a cake whilst chatting to a number of people. I bought my tickets only five minutes before the draw and won third prize - a bottle of good real champagne and a couple of champagne glasses. Tonight was another difficult one to get to sleep - it remains so hot and I watched the Test highlights on TV during the middle of the night.
