Bonfire Night

I can't say those words without remembering that nut who was on the X factor or some such programme a few years ago and sung his own song "Bonfire Night". Priceless.
I like a good bonfire, some fireworks (under supervision of course not some underage loons setting them off in their back garden) and a good bit of bonfire toffee but what are our options this year? I have friends going to Leeds Castle and others to Blackheath and think there are local ones in Danson Park and Chislehurst as well. Some of them you have to pay to enter - not sure if this is because they have additional things going on, ie a fair etc. Surely you can just look up in the sky and see the fireworks?
Why is there not one on our great Common? Is it for Health and Safety reasons? Will it encourage the local chav to set things alight?

Pickwick Papers

This is the most amazing interiors shop and is located in Greenwich. I popped in the other week to look at fabrics and wallpaper and they let me bring home sample books and everything.
They even have a little jar of rock in the shop to munch on.
It is a great selection and all I have to do now is decide and then persuade my husband to do some wallpapering...
