Posting on peace

Before heading away from home Fiona and I got to install our peace weather grams and peace doves in recognition of International Peace Day on 21 September. We knew we would not be at home so decided to do the installation on 2 September before the crazy schedule of leaving home took over too much.

Fiona posted on the installation on 2 September - I thought why not give peace a second go and decided to do my post on 7 September.

Some photos of the installation.

We hope that as folk walk by on the path at the top of the block they might be inspired to think of and imagine and believe in peace.

We hope to do a small peace installation in Scotland on-for International Peace Day.

  4. Hi LA, MC and P - thanks for your visit and comment. Sorry it has taken a while to respond - we have had a few technical issues but hopefully now resolved. LA - so much love and history in that tattered weathergram. MC - we can but try to do little bits. P - thanks both for peace thoughts and our trip. Peace. B
