Our Traditions
Well, a few days ago I grumped about the adoption of traditions that aren’t ours. So here are some pictures of our Seasonal Festival, that yes (in answer to Mary and others) since I was a child has lost much of its association with failed religious terrorism (thank you Liz ) It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen anyone trying to beg “a penny for the Guy”, and mostly it’s “Bonfire Night” rather than “Guy Fawkes Night”. Anyway, here are some photos from the bonfire in the vicarage garden this evening:

We had the fireworks, but not the bonfire, our garden is too small. Looks wonderful!Louise () (link) - 05 November '06 - 21:37
Bonfires! It looks amazing. Why are fires (when contained) so compelling?Carrie K () (link) - 06 November '06 - 04:23

There is a British community in my town, and they have a get together with big fireworks on a nearby beach. I can see it from my house, and love it, but am always caught by surprise!!Marie () (link) - 06 November '06 - 10:56
Oh I love Guy Fawkes night – we are going to a firework display / bonfire event in dubai this weekend, but it just isn’t going to be the same without the cold red noses and the baked potatoes to warm you up – still it is better than nothing.Becky () (link) - 06 November '06 - 12:42
Hi,I’ve stumbled across your blog while doing a search for patterns of adult male hats. I’m bookmarking your site and will visit on a regular basis.
I love how your little girl wants to be called “Baby Mummy” that is just too sweet!
