A vision in pink
...a vision in pink will be blossoming
On 9 August Yearly Meeting Gathering will be drawing to a close but a vision in pink will be blossoming.
The day marks the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945. The Wool Against Weapons campaign, in a direct action protest against nuclear weapons, will be unfurling a seven-mile-long pink peace scarf between the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) sites of Aldermaston and Burghfield.
Eight milestones will line the route, with faith groups gathering at the red marker towards the Burghfield end of the route.
Friends from around the country have been supporting the campaign and contributing their creations to the epic scarf. Pictured pieces include the efforts of Meetings in Eccles, Hartshill, Wandsworth and Milton Keynes.
