A Word From Karen

Whether you are staying at home to catch up on your DIY projects or packing up the family and the caravan for a last long weekend, enjoy your Summer Bank Holidays on Aug. 2 and Aug. 30. Maybe you can plan a getaway for one and stay home for the other.

During the weekend of Sept. 4, Faversham, Kent, devotes its medieval square to the International Faversham Hops Festival to celebrate the history of hops picking in the region. Music, children’s entertainers, Morris dancers, stilt walkers and street theater performers will fill the lanes around the square. In addition, stalls selling everything from books to jewelry will set up on the streets. For more information, visit http://www2.swale.gov.uk/hopfestival/.

If you haven’t heard about it before, go to In a Nutshell and educate yourself on St. Bartholomew’s Bun Race. It happens every year on Aug. 24, to commemorate one of England’s many victories over the French. Keep going to learn tips on how to get what you want out of life.

Then for a little fun, visitTreehouse Games to unscramble words of the season. Next up, visit Treehouse Trivia to find out more about the discovery of penicillin and the power of words.
