Change in Season

After a long hot Summer the cool of Winter seems to have arrived. Last Saturday was Bonfire Night (November 5th for non- Brits) and having been out trick or treating with the kids on Halloween we decided to try to remind the kids about their British rootes by buying some sparklers and toasting marshmallows (over a BBQ so not very British....). We managed to miss the DOSC fireworks display by an hour so we went for a walk along the beach and that coupled with the fact that we managed a swim in the pool earlier in the evening tells you that we were very far from a traditional British November evening so I suspect we are going to have to work a little harder to recreate for our kids the Bonfire Nights of our youth!
