Weekending

After days of rain the sun came out on Saturday and we celebrated Bastille Day beneath blue skies. We enjoyed baguettes, macaroons, markets, music and people watching at the French Festival. I couldn't resist some French inspired home wares purchases. Cohen was suitably impressed with a helium balloon and an ice cream, (though he sadly informed me Sunday morning that his balloon was "not well," when it no longer floated.) We left as grey clouds rolled over and the threat of rain hung over us. As we drove home both children slept but the rain held off.

My sister, my husband, our little boy and myself spent the day in the City, eating French food at the Festival, drinking tea at Three Monkeys and haunting the book shops in West End.

We discovered guerrilla knitting at a bus stop, a new Bill Bryson book and that the poetry section is always hidden around a corner.

We stumbled upon this interactive artwork in the grounds of Southbank, a 'Peep Show' wall with a different piece behind each eye.

I particularly loved the Ferris wheel. Hope your having a wonderful weekend too.
