Today was the hottest day of the year (so far).

Just another geocache? We were only the second team to find this geocache on the Wey. It has been a hot summer weekend here, so we got to the boathouse early and had two hours on a relatively quiet river. The cache was infested with red biting ants, and we almost got run down by a longboat, so it was a good adventure.

 
Ethan and I went camping at Symond's Yat this weekend, leaving Karen at home with a sick kitten. The camping trip was a real success, with good weather and good fun.


Sad to report: Mawenzi died over the weekend. She was a little kitten with a big personality, and we're missing her deeply.

Today was Sports Day for Ethan--hot and sunny.

 
Frensham Pond provided a cool retreat for Ethan and me on Saturday.

Next, a deer had narwal. is an anagram for Ethan Alexander Ward. Which I found out from Wordsmith.

 
The Pewley Down Summer Fair had a western theme, and Ethan was up for it. Check out the slideshow, pardner.

 
Today was open day at Ethan's school, and we got to see all of his work. Here is his drawing of the Three Little Pigs and also his portrait of HM The Queen.
