Wednesday's Windows

There have been two main themes in the UK's window displays this summer:

  • Celebrate Britain/Jubilee/Olympics
  • And Not..

I may post others in coming weeks, but Selfridges wins the prize for the most wonderful. (It probably also has the biggest budget... but that's life, eh?)

Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom picture for my very favourite window: it's all about the tea, people.

Quintessentially English

After Pimms, a BBQ and a late night yesterday I've found myself on English time very quickly.

Today we went to a summer fete.

There were strawberries, Victoria sponges, face painting, a BBQ, a tombola, a welly wanging competition, Pimms and beer, live music, country dancing, singing, fish a duck, raffles, decorate a cookie, bouncy castles and lots more.

My sister was on the face painting stall which meant for the second year running, so was I.
