Beaumont Daze...

As always I have just added some really exciting photos that demonstrate our action-packed and interesting lives! This weekend was the "Beaumont Town and Country Daze" festival . I don't know if it can really be described as a "festival" but we didn't really see enough of it to comment. We did get stuck on Saturday as we tried to leave town to go shopping. The road was closed for a few minutes as the "parade" went by. We saw a man (we assume he was the mayor?) waving very enthusiastically from the back of a pick-up as it slowly drove around the ring road followed by other pick-ups and a few people in costume. People had come out of their homes and set up on the curb side in lawn chairs and everything! Exciting!

Nigel and Sarah ventured out to the fun fair in the eveing but were a little dissapointed. Apparently it looked better from a distance. On the positive side, we were all very impressed with the firework show in Four Seasons Park which we watched from our back deck and Nigel and Sarah watched from their back bedroom window. I even managed to get some cool wobbly photos!

Squiggly

Neil and Doog watch the display from the deck.

We didn't do too much on Sunday other than hang around the house and mow the lawn. Here's a shot of our exciting, new, garden umberella.

And here's a shot of Neil's herbs which seem to have grown like crazy since Neil skillfully planted them a few weeks ago. (Apparently beer is the secret.)

Grassy flip flop's.

The neighbours welly rack.
