Well another year is nearly past since we arrived in Canada and true to our tradition we have held our annual Whelbourn Bonfire Night party.

.

Sorry no photos to show you as Gemma is struggling with a cold and didn't pick up the camera. I was too busy trying to remember my old Artillery drills while lighting the fireworks, much to the amusement of the record crowd (71). Yes 71 and I think it was a great success, it was a dry cold clear evening and the big bonfire was welcomed source of heat. I chose the wood for the bonfire more carefully than the previous two bonfires and so I had less flying embers. (no old fir tree's with small branches or dead needles).

While recovering this Sunday we drove to Home Depot (a DIY store like a big Wickes or Homebase) and WOW Petrol was down in price again to 96.8cents per litre.  We traded in our old external christmas lights for 50% of nice new LED type christmas lights. We also brought some new lights for Julie's Stand at the Christmas Craft Fair (she sold one of her new scarve's last night for $25) to help improve the look of the stand by adding more light.

Most of the day was spent cleaning up and lazing around recovering from our Saturday night party. The clocks went back last night so we are now back to four hour difference with the UK.

PS I saw our first snow today, just a few flakes but still it was snow. Hopefully the snow blower will be delivered in November before any major snowfall.
