It seems nearly impossible to have a celebration without fireworks to round off a beautiful summer's eve, now doesn't it? I recently found something that might be fun -- a list of the 50 most popular songs people have recommended to go with fireworks.
Included in that list are a few personal favourites, including Music for Royal Fireworks by Handel, Chariots of Fire by Vangelis, Star Wars Theme, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Zadok the Priest, to name a few. You might find your own favourites listed here.
Wishing my fellow Canadian a Happy Canada Day
and everyone a beautiful July ahead,

ReplyDeleteSafe and happy travels to you!! Enjoy the chocolate...(ahem)...I mean the well-stocked tote! :D
I wish I could celebrate with you. I like your style.
ReplyDeleteENGLAND!! Bon Voyage!
Wishing you safe travels Brenda.
ReplyDeleteA lovely Canada Day post, Brenda. The teacup is so unique. I hope your trip across the pond has gone well, and that jet lag won't hold you down for long.
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day, Brenda! I saw a similar teacup at a thrift store once and now I regret leaving it behind. Happy and safe travels to England! Wouldn't it be a happy serendipity if you and Lorrie run into each other?
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day! Love that tea cup!
ReplyDeleteA part of my new landscape that I'm excited about is a mock orange at either end of my patio, so I might catch their scent whithersoever the breeze shall blow. They are still tiny, so I haven't smelled anything yet. :-)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a safe journey as you head off for that England trip! It will be fabulous, I just know it will! Happy Canada Day! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you Brenda knowing you'd come to the end of sleeps for departing. I'd love to find one of the teacups as shown and hope you have many enjoyable afternoon teas while vacationing.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing England through your lens.
Hope that you had a great Canada Day and that you are enjoying your English travels! I hope that you have a fabulous time and get to see many great things and new places! I will look forward to hearing all about it when you return!
ReplyDeleteFabulous five. Hope you had a fun day, Brenda.
