this weekend ::

we headed over to Oxford for Cowley Road Carnival and Fiesta in the Park.

It was lots and lots of fun, though I dropped a fairly tired toddler off at nursery this morning, he had an awesome time and was so incredibly well behaved despite such a lack of sleep.

There was lots of music and dancing for this little boy, plus huge ice creams and great people to hang out with.

This amazing wicker man is the design of an 8 year old and will go up in flames on bonfire night. It's truly magnificent. You can read more about it here.

Another fabulous structure on show was this button tree, I can't find any information on it, which is fairly frustrating, but it is super amazing!

The procession was great, everyone taking part had so much effort in. Milo loved the giants and especially one big 'dancing bird', which he followed around for hours after the procession had finished.

It was a very very happy weekend indeed.
