This is a collection of snaps from our Independence Day party, which was held in our garden on Saturday 8th July. From memory, the guest list included people from the US, England, Ireland, Spain, Malaysia, the Netherlands and a few other countries. The weather cooperated, and both the adults and the children had a nice time.
One of our American guests was Meredith, here posing with our Brazilian/Israeli/Dutch/miscellaneous neighbour Felix:

Here is Meredith’s husband Rob; unfortunately we did not have a real pigskin, only this Made-in-China toy:

The tables were laden with barbecue and various snacks, including these patriotic stuffed eggs:

Here is the dog Leyla (you may recall seeing her dressed in an England outfit a few weeks ago), showing great interest in the table:

…and Rob was ambushed from behind by one of the female guests and had to find a way to get dry:

Layla is famous, she’ll expect a cow’s ear next time she visits! Love your photos, they always bring a smile to my face
