Well, in the end the bonfire started itself. I hadn't added enough cardboard, and we gave up. We turned our attention instead to the rather pleasant bonfire feast - home made toffee apples, parkin and mulled wine. Then there was suddenly a beautiful flare of fire, and the bonfire had come alive. The flames were gold and red and purple, and as it matured it became a golden circle of fire, which I had great fun dancing around.
I put tea light holders in and around the trees, but the wind blew most of them out. I'll have to resort to solar lighting next time, and those flares you can stick in the ground. I moved the tea lights to our seating area, where they stayed alight mostly, and added a magical glow to our conversation.
We were the only people at the allotments. It would have been great fun if there had been lots of us down there. If I was retired I'd enjoy organising allotment events.
