Well, it seems that Halloween has rolled around again. Phew! I thought we were going to miss it for a minute there.
To celebrate, the good people of St. Albans are having...a night of fireworks.
Confusing.
Alice and I will be in attendance in Verulamium Park with, no doubt, literally tens of other people.
I will be making marvellous soup to take with us, as well as the traditionally sarcastic, "Ooooh," and "Aaaah," noises at the smaller fireworks.
Hatfield, on the other hand, is full of lively and zestful youngsters, out and about looking for some ripping adventures.
They can take the form of milling around, stealing cars, or merely hurling eggs at passing buses. Now that fireworks are freely available in almost every shop in town, things are bound to get interesting, and for the last few days, our afternoon office has sounded as though there is a Star Wars(TM) speeder doing laps, as a high pitched whine dopplers past the windows every so often...
Since the landlord filled the pond in (with the rockery - mystery solved!), there is now a large, earthy launch pad, foresquare in the centre of our garden.
We shall have to see if I can put it to good use!
