After what felt like a determined effort by the sun to turn Buckinghamshire into the Mediterranean, things have finally cooled down a little. The fans can have a rest, the garden furniture is no longer too hot to sit on, and venturing outside has become enjoyable again. Perfect timing, really, because there's a packed week of events waiting across the county.
