Happy Guy Fawkes...or at least we *think* he's happy...

[primsong]

We decided to use the excuse of a Brit surname to indulge in a bit of Guy Fawkes today, even though our exceedingly pathetic guy was hardly impressive and we haven't anything resembling a genuine bonfire.

Guy and his Parkin (the cake was better - why is is called Parkin, I wonder? Treacle and ginger - yummm):






Wait, I didn't mean you light meeee!




Yaaaaaaarrrrgggh!



Ah, Guy... no dignity in having your armpits lit by a teenage guy, is there?

Omigosh! I sooo wish I was there right now!

BTW - I'm coming home Friday night! I have to go back Sunday morning, but still... save me some cake! ^_^

Yours is a very strange family... *eyebrow*

That's really disturbing, you know! Somehow it seems fairer when it's a life-size guy made of tights and stuff on a big bonfire with friends. :lol: That's just mean!!

I went to see a fireworks display, but am feeling all homesick, because I come from Somerset and if if I weren't now in the North East, I would have been at Bridgwater's Guy Fawkes carnival last night. People can take their bonfires and their twinkly lights and bangs, I want my illuminated carnival carts. And squibbing!!! :-D (Yeah, it sounds weird, but it's amazing, possibly the biggest one in the world, certainly Europe).

But anyway, looks as though you had fun. Ginger parkin is a good idea at this time of the year, with or without disturbing burning of poor little Guy. Who was indeed the original fall guy, when it comes down to it.
