Two of my favourite stories cropping up again. Firstly, it’s great to see Solar Impulse continue in its trail blazing journey, rising out of Phoenix and safely landing in Tulsa.
Also, the inspiring story of a young amputee lad. He made it into the news by having a kickabout at White Hart Lane during a Premier League match’s half-time break. Now, while that may have been enough for some, the boy is back in the news having spent a fun week at Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground and spending even more time with Association Football’s top flight. A great gift for a passionate young fan.

I hope the following stories give you plenty to smile about as we head into the weekend:
