Judging by the figures/scarecrows/mannequins in people's gardens as we drove through Wilby last Sunday it was fete day ... particularly like Let's make Wilby great again.

Too hot for roller derby In Norwich last Sunday but we did enjoy Surrey Roller Girl Ampersand What!'s good tempered interaction with an outside ref confirming what she was being penalised for.  Derby name of the day Crazy Cat Lady, not clever, not punningly witty but probably refreshingly true.

In Lowestoft last night this must have been scary for the mother.
