We went to the Ben & Jerry’s Sundae Festival at Clapham Common yesterday. There was music, ice cream, a bar and a children’s area with a bouncy castle – all of my family are catered for in that little lot. We had a great day, the kids enjoyed it and I am now on the look out for more child friendly festivals in the London area. If you know of any (and I realise I’m targeting one, maybe two, of my readers here) please let me know.
Here’s the boy looking suitably festival-y and happy.

On Tuesday I posted about our hollybush and its occupants. The husband spotted the Sparrowhawk just before lunch today. He was darting in and out of the hollybush and finally emerged triumphant (the Sparrowhawk, not the husband).
Thank you, the husband, for letting me use this shot.





Sounds like a great time all round! I wish there was stuff like that to go to here… >_<
WOW! A sparrowhawk! How lovely! My family loves bird watching and we never get anything raptor-ish in our neck of the woods!
Also – bouncy houses are THE BEST! I love them. They wear my child out and she sleeps well. Is that selfish? Perhaps…
did i tell you i’m off dairy while breastfeeding miles? oh, how I miss ice cream…
