Plus 11 and damp when driving in.

Thoughts for all those families involved in that awful air crash in Shoreham.

What a weekend? Lewis Hamilton won the Belgium Grand Prix, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Mo Farah and Usain Bolt all won in Beijing, Joe Tuite won the Ebor and we won the Ashes, even though we lost the Oval Test.
