Tuesday 2 July: Wren at Sports Day - her team won!
     
Granny (Liz), Mummy (Kerry) and Granddad (Brian) were there in support!
     
 
Dad (Mark) was also there!   Thursday 4 July: Alice's Sports Day!
 
 
Alice's halo has slipped!   But the egg stayed on the spoon!
     
Cake anyone? Liz was busy baking for the IMC Fun Day
     
Liz and Sheila, selling... cakes!
     
 
John was selling his jams   The mile of pennies always attracts lots of donations
     
Sheila joins us to celebrate Bob's 93rd birthday

Bobs checks that they are doing it right!   Very clever: strips of cloth plaited together in strips then sewn together to form a rug
Members of Liz's recorder and flute group enjoy a meal at The Hawkley Inn to mark the end of the season
     
 
An early visitor to the King's Arms barbeque organised and run by members of the Men's Group   John, John and Tim man the barbeque at Queen Elizabeth Country Park
     
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ‘and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice ‘without pictures or conversations?’
We walked along the canal from Guildford to Godalming - we started just by this statue of Alice and her sister.
     
 
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.   Spotted by Liz on the canal bank
     
John: "Where's the canal?"     Liz: "Over there!"
     
 
It makes you stop and think when you see how old the canal is!   Liz braves a walk across the lock gates!
     
   
Godalming is rightly proud of its place in the history of street lighting!
     
We were in Godalming (where Chris and Ed live) to attend a hand bell concert in which Chris took part
