Thursday November 4th - Fireworks

Tonight we had fireworks in the garden (tomorrow is bonfire night). What a funny tradition it is - when I was young we all knew what it was about but somehow the reasons why it started have become less of a feature over the years. I'm not sure if kids today learn anything about it at school - I shall have to ask my son tomorrow. I used to think it was weird celebrating the saving of parliament - after all it was so long ago. Somehow it all seems more poignant now in these days of war and terrorism.....

My favourite firework - Autumn leaves a beautiful shower of golden and red sparks with tiny blue sparks.

Aaarrrgh - Bush is back......
