The weekend was awesome. On Friday we ate some tasty tasty food (hello duck chow mein) when we went out for Andy's (my sister's boyfriend) birthday and on Saturday evening we went and watched the fireworks at our local university with B's parents and his brother and his girlfriend. We ate burgers and candy floss. It was brilliant. Lots of family fun was had.Now Firework Night has been and gone, Christmas is really in the air. Most of the shops are now playing classic festive tunes and are stocked with shiny trinkets. And boy oh boy is it ever chilly. Bring on the woolly hats and mittens.
Fairy floss and fireworks, how much fun. Was it Guy Fawkes? And look, you did get a food photo- well done you for not devouring it first!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really fun weekend... cotton candy, fireworks and friends what else do you need really ? I'm glad you had fun. Have a great week :) btw I love your glasses, very cute (I'm looking for a new pair) xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I miss England for the Xmas tunes in the shops! It is so festive!
ReplyDeleteps: just read the above comments and leaned that candy floss is called cotton candy the US and fairy floss in OZ. Thumbs up for an international community of bloggers! (and in case you're wondering - in French we call it barbe à papa, which literally means daddy's beard!)
ReplyDeleteyum! i love fairy floss.
ReplyDeleteyour post makes me wish i was back in england a little. especially your hometown, it really is beautiful.
I would love to be in the northern hemisphere for Christmas one year. I love to eat and bake all the traditional foods, which are a little at odds with an Australian summer. My little sister is coming out from London to visit home for this Christmas, I haven't seen her in 4 years! So lots to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteEeeee, I didn't realize it got so cold this early in Novemeber in England. Cotton candy and fireworks! Sounds like an awesome weekend!
