Tuesday

When we drove through London in the early hours of Friday the 21st of June, a speed camera caught us doing 25mph where the limit was 20mph.

I think most of central London is now 20mph.

Anyway, I received a letter advising me of a fine but not specifying the amount. Had the letter said, say, £50, I'd have just paid it. 

We had the chance to appeal so we wrote a brief account of why we were driving over the limit. 

A few days later, a reply arrived requesting proof of our story. We sent a copy of Florence's discharge letter and today, we heard the fine was dropped. 

Driving at 20mph, for miles, is actually quite difficult!

Another lovely day which started with a walk across the fields and time spent gardening.

Florence had a call with work this morning. Then cried a lot. Then cheered up and later, Jess met her for a coffee.

Becca, the friend that saved her life that night,  video called this evening and that's done Florence a lot of good!

In other news, my daughter in law is 30 today. I'm sure she and Henry celebrated.
