Picture parade sixty-four

Change of plans!

In last week’s picture parade I mentioned that today would be the final set of glorious pictures, courtesy of Su Reeves.

But that was before I realised that Jean and I would be popping in to our local old school house on Friday to enjoy a couple of hours admiring the quilting work on show at this year’s Hugo Ladies Club Quilt Show.

The theme of community has never been far from the pages of this blog and despite the provincial nature of this gathering I wanted to share a selection of photographs with you for today’s picture parade.

Puts the phrase “needle and thread” into a whole new world of meaning!

One last look as we drove away!

Maybe I’m becoming a soppy old fool but a couple of hours wandering around this event, just five minutes from where we live, made me feel, strongly so, that Jean and I and all our animals really do belong here!
