I really enjoyed the hoola hooping and playing with the other children on the bouncy slide.

Also there was a racing one, and I raced against some other boys and girls, it was great fun. I loved playing in the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angela &#8211; the food was so delicious, we had veggie samosas and chana. When the kids were in bed I went back out to visit the Riverdale hub &#8211; www.riverdalehub.ca &#8211;  a eco friendly community cafe initiative, giving women from various backgrounds (e.g. other countries, abusive relationships) a chance to gain experience in working in a cafe to then help them get other jobs . They have a rooftop garden where they grow food for their cafe, and they were giving tours as part of the festival. From the roof I could see CN Tower in the distance, and look down over Lahore Tikka House where we had our lovely curry with Sally and Brent yesterday. It was one of those days that you don&#8217;t plan but turn out really well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike &#8211; I was on the next street when the rain came down and it was so hard that the street had turned into a river. Fortunately I had shelter in a shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"806\" height=\"605\" src=\"http:\/\/www.samandmartha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/toronto-dance-quote.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.samandmartha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/toronto-dance-quote.jpg 806w, http:\/\/www.samandmartha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/toronto-dance-quote-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.samandmartha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/toronto-dance-quote-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Martha and Sam in the rain\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jv9XhyOFsww?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Martha and Sam in the rain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we woke up today we found that at the end of our road there was a festival so we went to have a look.
