Four favourite things - fireworks, hot air balloons, quilts, sweet peas

What a weekend of activities that spark joy - no, not tidying, but getting out there and enjoying life. I know some of these activities are contributing to global warming, but while politicians refuse to take action, and the country spirals in to impending chaos, it is important to come together publicly and love life in all it has to offer.

Later, at the same venue, Abingdon Fireworks Festival, 4 different fireworks displays to music

Then a two visit to Festival of Quilts, too many photos taken, so another post will need to contain edited highlights. These were three of my favourites from the Modern Quilting category

I’m not a successful gardener, but sweet peas seem to throve, so many bunches picked this summer and more to come.

  1. What a lovely weekend! Fabulous photos of the fireworks (and the other photos are great too, of course, but I've never managed to take a successful fireworks photo, which is why these caught my eye)! Looking forward to seeing all the other quilt photos too! xx
