Carnival time

When I invite friends to my village's carnival, on the last week-end of June (Yes!), they think there's something wrong with me : Carnivals happen in spring, not in summer ! Well... ours is in early summer and I'll tell you what : It's great. Because it's always sunny. Way more fun than freezing in those end-of-winter carnivals.

Now, I read that a few folks accross the Channel are celebrating their carnival yet another two months later ! And, as opposed to the Belgians, they realized that wearing winter suits in summertime is not a good idea... Happy Carnival, Notting Hill !
