We had another rainbow yesterday! This time it was just over our building – so pretty!
In other news, Lara was looking out of the kitchen window yesterday and saw that there is a tree outside that looks just like the Whomping Willow from the Harry Potter films. We haven’t seen it try to take a swipe at any passers-by, but it still looks kinda cool.

This weekend we went camping in the New Forest with Tom and Becca. It was Lara’s first camping trip in England and a very big change from the campsites she is used to… Kalaloch in the Olympic National Park was her favourite! Lara though it was very strange to have a campsite that didn’t have a fire pit and doesn’t allow campfires…
Sam and Tom were very good cooks on a portable gas stove and disposable BBQ units. On Friday night we had dinner at a great pub called the Shoe Inn – www.shoeinn.co.uk. It was really great food and the staff were so friendly!
We were lucky that it didn’t rain so we enjoyed the wilderness, observed the nearby cows and horses, and were fortunate enough to have a clear night on Saturday so we could see LOTS of stars – saw a few shooting stars as well!
A big thank you to Tom for driving!
