Guy Fawkes Night in Bermondsey

Hi everyone

To celebrate Luke's birthday (happy 24th BTW!) this weekend was Guy Fawkes cracker night - the occassion where any British idiot can get his hands on some colourful explosives!

Thankfully, there's plenty of British idiots in our council flat in Bermondsey so we were treated to a fireworks display on our front lawn on both Saturday and Sunday nights!

Our neighbours literally stuck fire crackers in the ground outside our block and lit them up! One moron comlete with a lit cigarette in mouth! Bang! They were so loud and our lawn was smoking! It was really a bit scary! All weekend you could hear pops and bangs all over London! I'm not sure if you can tell from this photo, but the brick wall is our flat - that's how close they were! Made me homesick for the shire when you could hear the bangs at Holsworthy!

But Bermondsey's not all bad. In fact, our little flat, No. 19 is a lovely place! On Saturday night we hit the town with our flatmates, Brad (Aussie) and Katy (Pom). We had a great night out, drinking and dancing before heading home togather and enjoying a late night snack!

We're really lucky with our flatmates, as they are all so lovely and we all get along really well. Sad news this week though is that Brad's moving out (to a bigger and better place) so we'll soon have another flattie to take his place. Sometimes our place is a bit like a bus stop, always a new face! But living with six other people is always entertaining! Plus we've made some really great friends.

Anyway, hope you like the photos and glad to see everyon blogging! Keep it up. hint, hint, I'd really like some photos from this weekend's family day at luke and jamie's!

Love Kel
