Mini MiLady with a Sparkler



Bonfire Night was last Thursday, on the 5 November, and it came close to not happening at all this year. It had poured down all day and only stopped just after it went dark.























This one is for you Jeevan


The bonfire gathering we attended was held in the village square and organised by The Red Lion, a pub known to locals as the Cat.




























The Doctors Crypt


The bonfire setting was moorland next to the cobbled rake leading down from the cemetery. The stone steps and pathway leading up to it was treacherous due to the rain. Only the very brave made it to the top. We took shelter in the grounds of the Doctors Crypt and watched the flames from there. I plan to tell you all about the Doctors in another post.























Tatty Pie and Black Peas


It was a dark, cold and wet night, the kind on which you need good, traditional, Lancashire food to keep you going. Sir H is tucking into potato pie with black peas. The black peas have to be eaten with lashings of salt and vinegar - it may not be politically correct, but eh bay gum, it hits the spot!

Looks like fun. We have a bonfire in June (our winter of course) although I think I might avoid the black peas? Putting paid to the fact that English Cuisine is an oxymoron. Then we invented Vegemite so perhaps I should stay quiet on that one!

Sounds like a perfect night. Never had blak peas with vinegar before. I'd love to try them.

Take care, M :)

LOL @KJ - Now, about the food... should I say what I do eat or what I don't? LOL January is getting close now :)


Lana - It always is when you are with the right people ;)


Jeevan - I wish I could have taken more photographs of the fire for you - I need a better camera :)



LA - If you like vinegar - you should like black peas;)

I think Lancashire food is after my own heart, love some good stick-to-the bones nourishment.
