Remember remember the 5th of November...
so we happen to mention that we'll miss bonfire night whilst we're out here to Steve in the Int off ice and the idea kinda takes root. We hope for a small get together for us brits to have a laugh etc The idea rolled on...
we ended up with around 150 people present!

Priscilla, me and Cat
It was a fantastic evening! We weren't allowed fireworks as it's either illegal or major paperwork. So we had a kickass fire and loads of free food - Jacket potato with cheese/beans, hot soup, hot choc, teat etc. We created two guys...(incase the one got nicked)

And yes I am imagining all the comments about which one is the guy etc etc.. I was hoping that one would get stolen coz then we could put up signs saying 'have you seen this guy' I thought this hysterical... Everyone else thought I was incredibly sad and weird (well more so..)
It was a great time and we proved that complete teamwork works, as everyone worked equally hard to get everything done and sorted :D

You had teat? Hope it was nice!
What a larrf you are all having - glad you have been able to educate the Yanks!
I liked your 'have you seen this guy?' joke! You definitely should have lost one just to use it!
We have also missed fireworks - boooo but..... we have been sliding around in sand dunes in a 4x4 today so you can't have everything!!
