puppy

Milou asked to have her face painted for the very first time at the annual Aquadrome festival. Of course, puppy was on the top of the list.

Rickmansworth Festival

Hello there! Hope you all had a lovely and relaxing weekend.

We went to the Rickmansworth Festival for the very first time last weekend. It normally takes place on the third weekend of May every year at the Aquadrome Local Nature Reserve, which is about 5 minutes walk from our house.  We made an extra effort to go this time since we missed it for the last couple of years we have been here. 

The usually tranquil Aquadrome was turned into a vibrant and buzzing funfair, filled with food and trade stalls, live music plus many more fun activities to keep visitors of all ages entertained.  The festival has been going for over 15 years to celebrate canals, the local community and the environment. 

I was most interested in the farm section where children were allowed to cuddle some of the cutest animals including the gorgeous piglet in the above picture! This piglet was only 3 weeks old and it was the sweetest thing ever. I know some of you might be tempted to get one but this lil piglet would not be suitable as a house pet since he can grow up to 130 kg!

Regent Street Festival 27.09.09

It was the very first Regent Street Festival that I've been to. I had a great time taking pictures of the adorable kids that just had their faces painted. The look on their face when first caught a glimpse of themselves on the mirror is PRICELESS!

The celebrations went on all day long. There was face paintings, street performers, ferris wheel, carousel, fashion show, roaming musicians and many more.

I can't believe I missed out so much for the last few years, worked so much and took so many things for granted. A little promise for myself to get out more and just enjoy it.

Notting Hill Carnival this year happened whilst I was away, will definitely try to make it next year.
