Summer Bank Holiday

So we had a Bank Holiday this weekend. That just means it's an official day off work. And for once we actually had some sunshine! I know from this blog it must seem like we get plenty of sun because just below you can see us at the beach. But believe me, since then it has been raining straight for the past two weeks! What a way to spend an August..... indoors, at work, in the rain. But when the sun does come out, we do know how to enjoy it!


On Saturday, we went to a Summer Fruit Festival at this lovely orchard in Kent. We tasted fresh fruit, watched a falconry display and gawked at the Morris Dancers.



And today we went to the London Wetlands Centre to see the ducks and beautiful scenery. We all enjoyed going in the hides to see the birds in their "semi-natural" habitats. And we got almost as much of a kick out of the birdwatchers and their gear! We definitely were not as prepared as they were.

That place is beautiful. I guess with all that rain, comes a lot of GREEN! Something that I am missing very much here in Arizona!! :)
