We had a busy weekend in our adopted town. Saturday we joined 10,000 other brave souls as we watched an enthusiastic parade through town with torches, drummers and floats. The festivities marking Guy Fawkes Day culminated with the lighting of an enormous bonfire and fireworks show. Thanks to husband's strategic thinking, we booked dinner at a centrally located restaurant and were able to watch from the comfort of indoors.
On Sunday we joined the residents of our town for a somber parade from Town Hall to our parish church for a Remembrance Day Service. The Lord Mayor lead the procession. Wreaths were placed by various military and civic groups and tiny white crosses were planted by the little children. What a beautiful service on a gloriously clear cold day.
