Today, Italy did something wonderful. They published a beautiful stamp in honour of our late Queen. The first time, with the exception of former Popes, that Italy has done so for a non-Italian. Thank you, Italy, from your British friends, for this very touching gesture 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇬🇧🇮🇹

Get involved with wheelchair tennis this May at Tennis Club Limonaia! I played mixed doubles a few years ago with a couple of wheelchair athletes: their agility, skill and positive attitude blew my mind. #tennis
