| Dear {$firstname}, Welcome to the July 2025 Newsletter. This month's newsletter is shorter than usual as I am writing somewhere in the middle of France, at an altitude higher than Mount Snowdon and unseasonably high temperature of 39 oC (the average in this area for this time of year is 19 oC). I will be making sure I am back in time for our unmissable annual lecture on 25th July, however. |
