Thrilled to see the new Boultbee Spitfire at Solent Airport this morning bringing pleasure as always. I have no doubt Mark Rutley will have better pictures than me but it was great to see and hear.

Delighted to meet Rev Mark Madavan at Locks Heath Free Church in Hunts Pond Road along with InTouch Team Leader Joanne Bull to see the near-complete £5m Waypoint Church project with its 500 seat auditorium, sports hall and meeting rooms. What an incredible achievement by the church members.

I am so looking forward to the opening on 21st September. I am pleased that Fareham Borough Council has been able to provide £40,000 grant support and that I will be considering the same on behalf of Hampshire County Council next month.

Great to visit the amazing South Downs Show at Queen Elizabeth Country Park. Tremendous exhibits and arena performances for the whole family. A particular favourite of mine was Jonathan Marshall and his incredible performing horses Amadeus and Picasso who I was pleased to meet.

Also good to catch up with our parks volunteers on the Hampshire County Council country parks stand promoting Queen Elizabeth and Staunton Country Parks. Graham May and colleagues – thank you for all that you do.

Thank you to show organiser Terena Plowright for being such a good host.
