Standard

Monday 30th August to Friday 10th September

A cloudy August turned into a sunny September.

Had a lovely walk on one hot and sunny afternoon all across the fields around Great Tew.

Then there was a much needed ice cream sat on the bank opposite these cottages.

I just had to take a pic. My dad was a thatcher, and both of my brothers too at various times. I think itโ€™s highly likely that my dad did some thatching work on at least one of these cottages in the past, as he worked a lot in all the local villages round about.

Here he is ๐Ÿ˜

Feeding time ๐Ÿฆ…

Thanks to the birds we have our very own wild โ€˜sunflower fieldโ€™ this year, seeded entirely by the birds being very messy eaters and flicking their seeds everywhere!

Just look how many baby sunflower heads are on this plant ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I think itโ€™s going to look very pretty when they all come out.

Festival time ๐ŸŽถ

Standard

Friday 27th to Sunday 29th August

๐Ÿ˜ฑ WE WENT TO A FESTIVAL!

It was such a treat ๐Ÿ‘

Itโ€™s been two years since we last went to one, thanks to Covid ๐Ÿ‘Ž

The first Big Feastival was on 1st July 2011, so they were celebrating their 10th birthday this year.

The oldest annual pop music festival in the world is Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands. This started in 1970, so is just over 50 years old.

Only another 40 or so years to go Big Feastival!

Iโ€™ll be ๐Ÿ‘ต but Iโ€™ll still try and come along!

Summer days

Standard

Sunday 15th to Thursday 26th August

A day at Emmaโ€™s wedding and finding a two headed zebra at a wildlife park!

Watching paddle boarders on the river and an unexpected visit to Caffeine & Machine.

How some of my days in August have been spent.

Oh, and โ€˜twinningโ€™ with Leah in Stratford ๐Ÿ˜›
