In July, we went to some local town festivals around the area. These ranged from a town fair (where we got our pictures in the paper)
to a local Blues festival
to Dragon Boat races on the Thames River.
We also take the opportunity when the weather is nice to have a picnic. There's pictures here of 2, the second one in the Richmond Park, about 15 minutes walk from home.
It had been really hot here (about 80F) and you couldn't sleep at night, so we had to buy a fan. It worked, the weather turned colder :)
One weekend we went into London to the Borough Food Market where Diana found a German deli and loaded up on German meats.
Finally, the weather had been so nice we decided to go to the beach. We took the train to Bournemouth on the south coast for a weekend at the beach. The doggies loved playing ball in the sand and we had a really good time. One thing to note for this set of pictures is that all of them were taken in the same day.

When I first looked at the paper, I thought you donated 14k pound to get yourself to the headline!
you know I always give to charity :)
James & Diana,
We just went to a festival y'all would have enjoyed. It was a Beer, Bourbon & BBQ festival in Cary. It was a blast and had numerous old favorites and new varieties of beer & bourbon. The BBQ was lacking in quantity but we were so elevated by the beverages we didn't mind too much. James, we hope to see you when you swing through in late August.
Cheers,
Dan
