4th of July in the UK

So, how does one spend the 4th of July holiday while living in the UK.  I tell you it's been a great experience this year...party at the US Ambassador's home, work picnic with friends and JT's coworkers, and an American lunch on the river in Ely, a cute English village, on the 4th.  That's how!!  We've had a terrific first year here...looking forward to this next year!

Hitchin Lavender Fields

Got to enjoy an amazing day with a couple friends out at the Hitchin Lavender Fields.  For a little over 4 pounds, you can pick a bag full of fresh lavender.  There's a cute gift shop and little cafe where we ate lunch. I got bunches of lavender to dry then figure out what to do with.  And although the fields weren't quite in full bloom yet, it was still beautiful out there.  I hope to go back and get more picks!

We made it a second time to these gorgeous fields and captured a bit of sunset.  To see all the great photos, please click here... http://aimeecunninghamphotography.zenfolio.com/hitchinlavender.
