So England (UK?) lost membership of the EU in the referendum of 23 June and then England (the football team) on 27 June lost to Iceland in the European Championship, failing to reach the quarter finals.
A busy week of Lost Bananas!
But the arrival of Tessa Megan, first greatgrandchild, on 25th June more than compensates.
I hope she will like bananas.

Weigh ahead
Fortunately I do not have to weigh up the option of leave, or of remain, in the European Union as I go to vote today, 23 June, 2016.
I am glad I do not have to decide for myself. Faced with the arguments from both sides I can only see behind them the personal ambitions of the leaders.
Those politicians and experts have certainly made an unhealthy meal in presenting information about the options. You have to fish for the meat on the plate, covered by the gravy.
And so I have asked my grandchildren to choose the menu.
Those of voting age have chosen to remain with European chefs. All 6 of them, between 21 and 31 years old.
My choice makes more sense to me than any of the arguments for and against.
And if I ever lose my bananas* again, I would like to seek their help in knowing where to look.
