The Mortal Man decided to hold their bonfire on Sunday. OK - this was the 5th so it was more authentic, but it was a shame as we could not stay in the lakes to enjoy it. Instead, on a perfect moonlit night we went round to Hawkshead where there was a public bonfire and firework display. Wow! This was the best display I have ever seen - or should I say displays as there were two lengthy displays - both really excellent. The nicest part though was that instead of charging a fixed entrance fee they just collected in a bucket, and then did the same as you queued for the food (also no fixed charge). The Romanian vegetable soup (whatever was in it - well OK probably vegetables) was really tasty, so a big thumbs up to whovere made it!
The money collected this year goes towards next year's display - Really civilised and friendly that! (and also quite unusual).We were a bit concerned for the guy in the tractor who kept moving bits of the bonfire to make it burn better (obviously vying to become the GUY in the tractor).
A fantastic evening though - many thanks to all those who organised it
