Bonfire Night/Guy Fawkes

What a wonderful evening we have had tonight. It rained at first but we kept on undeterred and the rain soon passed. We enjoyed a few dazzling fireworks - how the boys jumped with glee!
Then we lit a fire.
We gathered around that to keep warm and cosy, sausages on sticks, marshmallows too, and parkin cake, and telling stories under the vast, dark sky - quiet all around. Mostly dog and star stories! Our dog enjoyed himself too. We will remember this night with warm memories.

The boys went to sleep with sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks.
