A festival and a visit to the US



For over 35 years in our city centre there's been a free summer festival of music, arts, dance, theatre and crafts run by the community for the community, and this year's festival took place on Saturday. To find out more about it and see the pictures please come along with us to the US as we shall be taking our local festival to Necessary Room in celebration of Inspirational Monday. I would appreciate it if you would join us to celebrate at Se'Lah's lovely blog and I look forward to seeing you there.

A festival at Necessary Room

Originally posted at Necessary Room, 7th June 2009

I'm so excited and honoured to be here at Necessary Room. I've really enjoyed reading Se'Lah's blog over the last few months, since our blogs' paths crossed at Sunnydaytodaymama, and truly appreciate the wonderful friendship I've found here. I'm inspired by Se'Lah's love of life, her positive energy and her joyful spirit. So I thought it would be nice to have a festival while we're here in celebration of Inspirational Monday.

Sunnyboy is going to show us around before he heads off back to the bouncy castle,



so have a sit down and an alternative brew.



There are some interesting science activities in the children's tent,



and the Interknit is here.



There are pink fairies,



and a silver Sonic Manipulator.





Someone is speaking on a banana telephone. Sunnyboy doesn't know why this is funny. Why not use a banana as a telephone?





Sunnyboy likes to 'play chess' but probably needs a bit more practice before accepting this challenge,



and here are some other signs we'd like to show you.

No littering,



fly free as a bird,





peace.



We hope you enjoy the festival. Thank you Se'Lah for inviting us here to your lovely blog. We had a great time.

Sunnymama and Sunnyboy

Thank you Se'Lah, and over the river

Thank you Se'Lah for visiting sunnydaytodaymama yesterday to write a guest post and taking us on a wonderful nature walk together with you and your daughter. We're really looking forward to a visit from our friends again soon, and more beautiful pictures.

After our guests had visited from across the ocean yesterday, Sunnyboy and I walked to visit some friends on the other side of the river.

Inspirational Monday: to new friendships...

Guest post

It is a great pleasure to be invited for a visit here at sunnydaytodaymama. When I first started blogging late last year, I did not have any expectations. I am delighted to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by the valuable friendships I have formed in my necessary room. One such friendship is with sunnymama ;-)

From the moment I visited this blog, I formed a connection with what I call the "freedom of spirit" displayed through the everyday life experiences of sunnymama and sunnyboy. Another aspect I truly appreciate is their great love for Mother Nature. I am always inspired and encouraged after my visit here everyday.

So, for Inspirational Monday, I thought it would be nice to take you on a nature walk. I hope you enjoy.

my daughter and I headed out on an excursion up the coast, keeping our eyes peeled for anything we thought would interest our adventurous sunny boy.

Although the sun would not cooperate, we were not deterred. there were tons of trucks at a roadside auction but this one caught my eye as it rumbled by. Yes, attitude is everything.













as we drove along the foggy road, we witnessed the whimsical power of the wind. These wooden decor are wind-powered. Cool, huh?













the fog covered so much of the coastal landscape so there wasn't much sign of wildlife, but we continued on because we knew we were almost there.













we stopped in the harbor and admired the jellyfish. can you see them?













we soon arrived at the point where the land meets the sea. breathe soft, ye winds.













although the fog was visibly thick, the windsurfers were out in droves.













and my daughter left her traditional gift on the seashore for a stranger.













the wind and fog were relentless so we headed back home. as soon as we drove up our street, my daughter asked, "why would a turtle hang out in the road?"













apparently, someone could not climb back over the sidewalk so my daughter gave him a helping hand. note to self: turtles squirt pee all over the place when people pick them up. we gladly sent him on his way.













then we noticed little robin red breast sitting in a tree.













and so ends our excursion with a gratuitous flower with a special little guest for sunnyboy.













*Give thanks to vchelle for creating Inspirational Monday as a way to start off the work week with something uplifting. Everyone is invited to leave their links of inspiration at Operation You.

*Give thanks to sunnymama and sunnyboy for inviting us into their space. Always a pleasure.
One Love,
Se'Lah
