July Card Challenge ...

Hello, we hope that wherever you are in the world this July you get better weather than we are getting here in Newcastle. Oh my goodness the rain this week has been horrendous! We've never seen such flooding before and we had a nightmarish journey trying to get back home to Ribbon Girl HQ on Thursday afternoon. Luckily we weren't badly affected (other than getting very wet!) but others in our village weren't so lucky and the school where Andrea teaches was under water for a little while. They say it's been the wettest June for a hundred years and we believe them!
