All Ablaze . . .

Our leftover palettes made a good bonfire last night - Guy Fawkes was of course on November 5th, but quite a few folk leave their bonfire celebrations till the weekend. It was the perfect night for it, clear and still. 'Teenage Son' did his own thing with his pals, so we were a small group, but I think 'Little S' enjoyed it all the same.

It was nice to see various bonfires all lit up, dotted about here and there, and to see our neighbour's fireworks bursting into the sky (that's the advantage of living on top of a hill - we have a good viewpoint of the surrounding area!).

There's nothing like a good bonfire on a lovely starry night (and the toasted marshmallows were quite nice too, hehe!)

Happy Sunday :)

Sounds like great fun! I like bonfires as well. In Slovenia, bonfires are traditionally burnt on the eve before May 1st.
I'd fancy a toasted marshmallow myself...
