ELY AQUAFEST
Sunday 7th July was the day of the Ely Aquafest. It was a lovely sunny day, which meant that those people taking part in the river events dried off quickly. Anna had lots of fun watching the home-made rafts racing along the river!

CAMBOURNE PRE-SCHOOL SUMMER FETE
Friday 12th July took Anna to Cambourne Pre-School’s summer fete, where there were lots of games and bouncy castles to entertain the children.

RAMSEY 1940’s
Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th August was the popular Ramsey 1940’s weekend, where lots of people get into the 1940’s spirit by dressing up in the outfits of the time. This group of soldiers looked like they were having fun playing cards!

LITTLE GRANSDEN AIR SHOW
Sunday 25th August was the annual Little Gransden Air Show, where some very brave people jumped out of airplanes to entertain the crowds! Some, like this one, displayed flags and others performed tricks while releasing coloured smoke and making patterns in the sky. The weather was fantastic, and it was the perfect end to the summer season.
