Whilst the cat's away.........

......the mice will play.....with fire!

So it was that the girls (Emma, Emma's Auntie Karen and cousin Lydia, and myself) headed out on the town to Knypersley bonfire on Friday night for an evening of fire, fireworks, and, erm, a cup of tea.

The bonfire was lit to the musical accompaniment of 'Light My Fire' (tragically the Will Young version rather than The Doors), and burnt to the strains of just about any song with any reference to fire - Great Balls of Fire, Ring of Fire and so on....

The time in between the lighting of the fire and the fireworks display was filled with a) trying to find somewhere that sold a cup of tea, rather than a pint, a burger, or a bottle of liquid sugar and e numbers, and b) standing in the slowest queue ever at the furthest corner of the ground for 3 cups of tea and a hot chocolate.

Great firework display that went on forever ("this must be the finale....oh no, well this must be the finale.....oh, well this MUST be......oh.....), and then back to Karen and Lydia's for a game of Junior Scrabble.

We girls know how to live it large.
