Our Last Bonfire Night

Yet again, for the last week or so, fireworks have been going off in and around the park behind us in celebration of Guy Fawkes Night also known as Bonfire Night. (For a detailed description, follow this link: ClanMcCarter.) I remember last year when our sponsor family was spending Bonfire Night with British friends and I was a bit envious because they got to do the real deal. Well, we just spent an excellent evening with pretty much every neighboUr up and down and across the street from us, some who we met for the first time this evening. Two sets of neighboUrs who happen to have adjoining gardens threw a Bonfire Night celebration which included a wonderful fireworks display. The food was great and the kids had a great time. I for one will truly miss our neighboUrs and celebrations.
Tomorrow night, we are going to Owen's school to continue the Bonfire Night traditions. For once, the weather forecast looks decent.
