Well if you were worried that I’d only be talking about Rugby for the next few weeks it’s great to know that the British Isles is going great guns in plenty of other sports. While I don’t want to rain on the Lionesses’ 8-0 win, the 11 Medals for Great Britain’s Dressage Team at the European Championships is hard to argue with. 🙂

Sport, and my Tough Mudder preparations apart the biggest news for me has to be the step forward in lab grown organs. With several friends having to have kidney surgery of recent this news hits especially close to home and gives me real hope for the future of medicine and transplant surgery.
