Good Afternoon Bucks
Itβs been absolutely boiling lately and for once Iβm quite pleased to see a decent spread of cloud rolling in over Bucks. The kind of heat that makes even a short walk feel like a sponsored challenge has finally eased off a touch. Perfect timing really, because the county has absolutely packed the week with things worth leaving the house for.
Lots going on around the county this week, including:
- π¨ Bucks Art Weeks Exhibition at National Trust Ascott on Tuesday to Sunday
- π©° Les Ballets Trockadero De Monte Carlo at Milton Keynes Theatre on Tuesday
- π Hellfire Comedy Club at Wycombe Swan on Thursday
- π€ Midge Ure - A Man Of Two Worlds at Milton Keynes Theatre on Thursday
- π€£ Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny at Milton Keynes Theatre on Saturday
