punting picnics, vintage VWs and bumper cars!

ah, more photos!  following the april-may update here are some snapshots from june and july....so far my summer has been absolutely wonderful and i've spent it with some very special people:

had an amazing picnic to celebrate jon's birthday at the cherwell boathouse in oxford


tested out the caquelon with some chocolate fondue
had a wonderful weekend at the fab volksfest in bristol, so many adorable vintage vw's, will post more soon!


tested out my bumper car skills at the volksfest, and even if i do say so myself, i thought i was pretty good!

caught up with wonderful old friends


relaxed under the london eye with more wonderful friends post a chocolate making extravaganza



lost a Frisbee in the river and watched the boys knee deep trying to fish it out


watched the 'tidal' waves drenching people at thorpe park and rested after a scary ride on stealth


tested out dennis' canon 500d on my beautiful sleepy kitty


and then tested out the camera on my beautiful boy


ate THE most amazing pieminster pale and drunk delicious golden raven ale at the raven in bath


spent the day with very special friends wandering along the bath canal and nibbling cheese as the sun went down
