Friday Fun for The London Borough of Barnet - 23rd May 2025

As ever we start with the Friday Joke to kick things off.  I thought this one was rather funny, oddly my wife and her sister less so!

My wife and her sister fell out on a holiday trip.

The rest of the balloon flight was, however , peaceful.
