Sunny England

Hello!

A couple of weekends ago we had some fantasic summer weather here in london. On Sat we went to a fete in Regents Park. It was a day out for Bekki's Birthday. It was called the innocent village fete, sponsored by the 'nudie' fruit smoothie drinks. Anyway, it was a fun day and nice to be out in the sun. There was lots of great food, drink and music. They also had traditional fete attractions such as swingdancing, duck herding, dog agility trials and maypole dancing!

Here are some pics from the fete....

Then on Sunday we battled the crowds and drove to Brighton for the day. It is a very popular spot on a hot, sunny day cause it's a sea side town. Brighton also happens to be the gay capital of England and the day before we visited they had their 'gay pride parade.' As we didn't realise this, we were surprised at how openly gay the place was and at the number of rainbow flags flying! Anyway, it was a very colourful place and worth the visit.

Notice in the picture how their beach is all pebbles. It was nice to wander around but we didn't go swimming or lie on the "beach".

One of the places to visit in Brighton is the Royal Pavillion. It's an Indian-styled building that's quite unusal. Here's a photo.
