The Queen's birthday long weekend always meant fireworks and bonfires even when I was small and living in the city. The fireworks are a thing of past but tonight we are going to brave the elements and have dinner outdoors with the added magic of a bonfire to keep warm by and maybe those who are inclined will toast some marshmallows. I have Tom home and my sister is coming for a visit too so if that isn't an excuse to celebrate then I don't know what is. I am loving this weekend and a bonus, Tim is not working until Monday. Simple menu tonight, pumpkin soup with homemade bread roll and steak sandwiches for the anti-soup brigade and the extra hungry diners. Warm pear and honey cake for dessert.
Apparently there was an tremor in the region last night. I felt nothing probably because I was sound asleep but it is still scary nonetheless. I know I couldn't live in those places that face that constant known threat of disaster. I would be forever on edge. I am a worrier I believe.
Anyway I have to go and bake the dinner rolls and light the fire.

You certainly have some wonderful sites to behold. I was hoping we'd be off picking blackberries but 3 hours at "Yarn Night" knitting did my shoulders in and I had a ruff night. We will still go just later in the day.
I hope you had a great evening outside. And I hope you don't get any more tremors! I'm also a worrier.
