Bonfire Night part one

It's that time of the year again!

Bonfire night!

Seems to be slightly quieter than earlier years - maybe people have realised that it is much more fun to go to an organised night than go it alone.... maybe shopkeepers are a bit more aware (one hopes!!)

This is an English celebration but why you ask.........?

Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot.
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

That's what we chant and here's why .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night

So the fireworks have been banging and lighting up the night sky since Friday evening, for a few hours each night ....
but then you see..........

our neighbour has a Bonfire Night Party - a real bonfire, barbecue, drinks and ..... lots of fireworks!  He spends a fortune but everyone has a brilliant night.  The fireworks are stupendous!  Rockets big, noisy and high in the sky!  I am so looking forward to it!

But ....

First there is the tidy up ......
PJ and M have been cleaning up ready, working all day.  All the leaves have been gathered, all the wood cut up, all the fireworks bought ........ food shopping tomorrow.
Glad it's not me ... I've been parcelling up ATCs and putting them into the post.... in the warm!
