4th July weekend - Independence Day

Sorry about the delay, again. Rather dampened by the torrential downpour, we avoided the hugely advertised Post fireworks, for Independence day, and saw a few pathetic sparklers shooting up from our neighbour's driveway. must have been for health and safety reasons, but they set them off at about 5pm... a little disappointing, fireworks in broad daylight! However, i think my brother more than made up for it in NY where they saw a display of 40,000 fireworks! there have been a few more American flags around, if you could squeeze them in, but apart from that nothing out of the ordinary for this glorious weekend in the land of the free.
