Today is Bonfire Night :
“Remember, Remember The Fifth of November, Gunpowder, Treason & Plot!”
The Night we remember Guy Fawkes when he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605 but was stopped at the very last minute when the Authorities received an anonymous letter telling them of the plot. Fawkes was arrested that night whilst guarding the gunpowder. We let fireworks off to represent the gunpowder and we have bonfires where we used to burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes.
Here are a few pictures of the Boys and the fireworks we have had over the years in the garden. DH is out tonight running Event Control for the Council Bonfire. Normally I would have gone with him but it is cold and I don’t fancy sitting in the Truck or the cold van for a few hours!!!!
I have been keeping up to date with work and home jobs and getting a few other things sorted including things for Christmas. This weekend DH is home all weekend so we are going to carry on doing the de-cluttering in our garage. It is a job I am determined to get finished by the end of the year and we have a few days between Christmas & New Year to get it done finally. Part of this is also our attic although quite a bit of what was stored up there is now in the garage. We are giving things to the Boys that we have saved including baby things so that is working well.
I have been re-watching Series 4 of “Stranger Things” to remind me what happened before Series 5 finale starts at the end of this month. I have found that when you have such a long time between series you forget what has happened. I realised this when I was watching Game of Thrones all the way through with no breaks, some things made sense that never did before because of the gap between the series. So I now go and watch the previous series so I know where I am up to.
I will take some pictures of the garden, most of our leaves are now off our trees although the very big trees which are in the field at the top of our garden have not started to lose theirs yet so we will be in for more leaf gathering. Coco is enjoying the space we have created in the bed where we had to take out the Box plants and I am planning which plants to put in next Spring but I am not doing anything with it until then.
I hope you are all having a great week, tomorrow is Thursday and I have a friend coming for coffee and biscuits in the morning to see me. Have a good rest of the week.
Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
You were smart to stay home in the warm!! Save up your cold endurance for the Christmas festivities you have planned. Little Man will have so much more fun this year…it just keeps getting better!! We have had some vicious wind storms here with winds between 60 and 90 mph, so most of the trees have given up their leaves…but some are still hanging on! Love the new covers for Coco’s bed – she definitely looks comfy in her basket. Sage prefers the hard bottom of his huge crate to anything soft…smh, I think he’s crazy!! Have a lovely week!!
