We kept it, slowly collapsing, in the garden and then lit it again for a final flourish on Bonfire Night.

I remember my mother telling us about Guy Fawkes Day, and especially, as it was my older brother's birthday, how he, as a child would assume all the fireworks were for him! <br /><br />I hadn't heard of the food, though - my parents told us of lugging a home-made "Guy" around to doors and asking for a "penny for the Guy" which would be spent on candy, and of the huge bonfires!<br /><br />I'm only just home from a week away and find that you've been in hosipital, Jacqueline - I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope all is well now and that you are recovering well.<br /><br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877038657361699565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-63285224879509528642010-11-05T08:33:07.438+00:002010-11-05T08:33:07.438+00:00I forgot to say - if you are ever in the south of ...I forgot to say - if you are ever in the south of England for bonfire night do go to Lewes - they have a number of Bonfire Societies and this is one of them in their dress - there are parades and drumming - think Mardi Gras with warm clothes on!N E E D L E P R I N Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016259421156728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-91593970305919620772010-11-05T00:03:04.109+00:002010-11-05T00:03:04.109+00:00Thanks for the recipes!
