June 2026
Things this month…
Camping - Min and I went on our annual camping trip to Washington; fantastic time and great catching up with so many friends.
Engaged! - This month Min and I got engaged after receiving the rings we’d commissioned Barbara Tipple to make. We did this over the Summer Solstice weekend which gave additional meaning to the engagement.
Family - The new (almost a year old now) car was given a good run down to see family in Battle. It was a good and well overdue catch up with people - although way too hot!
Food - I joined the Delishly Gluten Free and Dairy Free subscription which you can read all about here.
Food - I visited the Panero Lounge in Southsea, a usual haunt, here’s my thoughts on the place.
Photography - I added to my kit this month and bought a DJI Mini 3 Drone in the Prime Day Sale; it’s a very basic entry drone but should give me a feel for flying and if it’s something I want to pursue.
Rum Club - This month was the Kraken Black Cherry and Madagascan Vanilla which you can read about here. I’ve tried the rums that I wanted to try so now we’re going random and that means the Crusty Juggler Barrel Ages Black Spiced Rum is the rum for July!
Sports - This month we’ve been blessed with 3 races! Monaco, Barcelona, and Austria! I really felt for Antonelli in Barcelona but felt he showed how mature he can be and also just how much Russell is slowing him down! All three races this month were a great watch.
