Our local high street had a 'Fete' today. Fete in French means party or festival. Apparently it's quite popular here. Instead of street fairs - there are fetes. No matter the name, it's good fun. Lots of food, lots of local artists and booths, tons of folks passing out helium filled balloons, tons of people...
Northcote Road Summer Fete
One of the local artists funny enough is our American friend, Margarita Dragon! Or, as we know her -- Garret. She owns Crown Chewels. She makes these beautiful teething necklaces for new mums. This was the first time I'd seen the necklaces in person. If you happen to be a good friend of mine reading this blog, and you just happened to have given birth recently... do not look at that link. :)
Of course, we managed to get some treats and wander in and out of a few shoppes. The kids got their faces painted, we kicked a few balls at the local games, we watched about two seconds of the Tour de France and Men's Wimbledon on a HUGE screen...
Next weekend in our block party. That should be fun....
