I was pleased to drop by the Droitwich Community Showcase event at the Baptist Church in Droitwich yesterday.

It was wonderful to see such a diverse and large number of charities and community organisations showcasing what they do.

I was delighted to visit Norton-Juxta-Kempsey Primary School to officially open their refurbished library and to see their new sensory garden.

The river level may have been too high to allow the planned rowing Regatta to take place today but that did not stop the Evesham Rowing Club from putting on a great event this today - complete with BBQ and cakes.

The asparagus was a bit too big for the BBQ though!

I had a great time at the St Richard's Canal Festival where it was pleasing to see so many brilliant local stalls and volunteers.

Thank you to all involved for organising and participating in another great event.

Always a pleasure to visit the beautiful Ombersley Golf Club and catch up with Nigel Dowty.

We discussed some of the latest trends in golf and I saw first hand the extensive and impressive refurbishment work that is taking place at the club house.

It is a year since the Coronation.

Shortly before the Coronation, the King and Queen held a reception in the historic Westminster Hall in the Palace of Westminster.

It was great to spend time over the weekend at the Cropthorne Walkabout. It was wonderful to spend time in Cropthorne and to see the beauty of the local area.

Thanks to the local team for organising such an enjoyable event, I look forward to returning next year!
