We took a trip to the finale of the Thames festival
last night and it was wonderful. A great mix of cultures including a
virulent resurgence of some old school moves from the superhip The London Swing Dance Society.
Loads of theatre and good food etc. The carnival was cool (horrendously
offkey MC aside) but we were really there for the fireworks.

Fireworks are amazing.

They are amazing because you can only experience them in the moment. You don’t have time to analyse anything, you’re too busy trying to absorb all this fantastic candy. The best way to enjoy fireworks is just to turn your brain off and let the spectacle wash over you.
And beneath the visual wonder there is a reminder. A reminder of how rarely we can see past the worries and regrets that seem to monopolise our thoughts and actually live in the moment. A moment that, more often than not, is in itself worthy of celebration.
