We’re all off back to Cheltenham for the annual Webster Bonfire Party. It’s always a key event of the year – usually my favourite. My mum cooks too much good food, people bring their own specialities, and we all watch my Dad not quite set himself on fire/blow himself up. Under his orders no-one may bring those boxed collections of fireworks that take days to work through. Instead you must bring a big firework. More if you want to. This works out very well, with everyone ducking for cover last year and destroying tables the year before.
It’s one of my favourite times of year. The air gets cold, the nights draw in, the leaves change colour. These all signal the oncoming autumnal and wintry seasonal family events that I enjoy so much.
The best thing about Bonfire Night and Christmas is that it’s the time of year when I really get to spend time with all my family, and some time away from work.
