Welcome to the war zone ...

... otherwise known as East London on bonfire night. It's crazy out there and it will go on all weekend. We never bother going to a firework display - we just open our curtains and turn the lights off for a fab free display!

I've always wondered about bonfire night and Guy Fawkes. Did this tradition come about as a celebration of the fact that his plot to blow up the houses of parliament was foiled or in comiseration of his failure? ;o)

And, as part of my blog is supposed to be my musings on married life, I have the pleasure of attending a celebration of a long standing marriage this weekend. I think it's fab when marriages prosper and flourish surrounded by so much divorce. I look forward with hope to our milestone anniversaries in years to come.

Short and sweet tonight. Have a safe and enjoyable Bonfire Night.

Happy Journeys
