In Season in July

July - the very depths of British Summer. At it's best, it can be truly sweltering. The kids finish school and it's the season for the Great British Barbecue. Our cousins across the pond celebrate Independence Day on July 4th, and a little closer to home, we can look forward to the annual "Swan Upping" conservation event on the Thames (starting Monday July 20th).

What will you be doing in July? And (imagine I'm your hairdresser) are you planning to keep your holidays local?!
