May

On Thursday 7 we voted in the General Election, but did not stay up to see the results coming in. The exit polls had shown that a change of government was not likely, and, as usual, were proved right.

Our summer routine established itself: regular bowling commitments for Roger, several visits to Oxford with Jay, as well as regular trips to and from the station. On Saturday 16 we attended a short ceremony in Oxford at which Jay was awarded her MA.

The weather for the most part was cool and changeable. Roger got several soakings on the green, and heavy rain during the late Bank Holiday weekend affected the Winchcombe Music and Arts Festival. The lunchtime outdoor jazz event on Sunday 24 for which we had tickets was cancelled, but later in the day Teresa and Jay enjoyed the Gloucester Music and Song event, led by the violinist Michael Bochmann.
