halloween is an import.
here in southern england, we still take 'bonfire night' quite seriously.
'remember remember, the gunpowder treason and plot'
traditional english costume
newick bonfire night 2010

when i'm not tripping unpleasantly on do-do chest-eze, as i appear to be right now.
had lunch at 'the rose and crown' in fletching.
thought we'd have a change as we traditionally lunch at 'the griffin'
unfortunately the rose and crown had changed hands, unbeknown to us.
my starter was incredible
my chicken and asparagus lasagne was inedible.
went down to the village hall in newick to watch the fancy dress competition.
which as usual was a FIX.
there were some amazing homemade costumes that didn't win anything.
had to restrain mrs.perou from shouting, 'IT'S A FIX' (again)
bumped into steven rea and some more of my old primary school associates.
by the fireworks display at 9pm (ish) maximum and z both wanted to go home.
i didn't understand the political or cultural significance of the sponge bob effigy that was blown up?
maximum managed to bite into the glow in the dark necklace he was wearing.
i said, 'i told you not to bite that because the liquid is poisonous'
z started crying, 'i don't want my brother to die from being poisoned'
the liquid is not poisonous but maximum's face became glow in the dark...which made him quite happy.
back to farm late with delirious children.
insane ludwig had to travel with a towel over his head as he was freaking out so bad with the motorway lights causing flickers and shadows to move inside the perou-mobile.
1 prescription of doggy Valium please.
or maybe a lobotomy would be a better long term solution?
