Remember, remember, the 5th of November ... a day that serves as a reminder to each new generation that treason will never be forgotten. However, that is wasted on the young ... Guy Fawkes is simply a fun day to build a bonfire or a guy, and let off firecrackers !
We had 2 nights of celebration ... one on Friday night when Luca slept over and we took the boys up to Mt Vic to watch the Council fireworks display over Wellington Harbour. It was a lovely still night and the display was quite fantastic - it does not pay to think how many thousands of ratepayers' money goes up in smoke on that one night !! But the boys were in awe of the way the sky lit up and the mass of colours that cascaded down the night sky.

And then on Sunday night, the local beach hosted their annual Guy Fawkes night. Anyone can enter a 'guy' into the Guy Competition and after the judging has been done, they are all lit and burned. This year we had 11 guys and some were very clever indeed ! We joined up with Niki and her boys, Fionn and Ciaren. What is it about boys and fire ? Suffice to say, all 3 boys got stuck into adding more driftwood to the fire and making sure that the guys really did burn to the ground ! We seriously needed long hot baths after that night !
You will be relieved to know this was a 'guy' and not a real woman !
