Seeing all the photos of Gareth Southgate this morning, I was struck by this thought : Isn't it nice, in modern England, to have a gentleman in charge of something

Tomorrow we have our 'Summer Serenade' in the grounds of Haigh Woodland Park. The guys from Leisuretec (UK) Ltd have been working hard in this sunshine!
