Summer is definitely here. Instead of me moaning about being too cold, Patrick has been moaning about it being too hot.
Highlight of the week was one of our quarterly Property Redress Scheme Council meetings at the House of Lords – we get use of a committee room there as the Council Chair – Lord Palmer, is a House of Lords peer. An interesting meeting as usual.
Next event coming up is a webinar interview with UPAD director James Davis, which you can sign up to here. As usual it is a free event and will take place online on Friday 29 July at 12.30 lunchtime. You can sign up here.
