This weekend it will not only be Americans celebrating the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Each year in the County of Northamptonshire celebrations are held at Sulgrave - the ancestral home of George Washington. While sadly, I won't be able to attend this year - due to the East Midlands Labour Party Conference, taking place in Nottingham - I know that each year many Brits turn up.
If you can make it - it's a really good day!
