Spooky Bonfire Season

We are at that inbetween stage between Halloween which has just gone and Guy Fawkes Night which is to come Saturday where we don't usually publish on here.

I recall Penny For The Guy but never Penny for the scout!

At the sort of age you'd be in Beavers or especially Cubs or Scouts these two events are very much a part of your social currency, attending, having a role within them or making something for them.

Not unsurprisingly it does with me so recently while away, I made this lantern although it was meant to be supported  on an apax really.

Equally I enjoyed being suitably wrapped up a traditional Bonfire and Fireworks display which with the crackling, smell of smoke and colourful fireworks whizzing through the air in star shapes just took me back to my yoouth and what I loved about the Scout Firework displays I attended.
