GUY FAWKES Celebrations In RYE

Bon Fire Mob

Not very often in life are we presented with a true 'stepping back in time' experience. One of those rare moments where you have shivers of excitement as you are confronted with pure sensory over-load. Rye, an ancient town in East Sussex, England, is the perfect backdrop for the most amazing Guy Fawkes pageantry.

Enjoying HALLOWEEN

Harvest Tree Season: Elgin, Scotland

 

I know I am supposed to love summer, hot beach weather, wearing shorts & sandles, etc... and although its all fine, October is MY month.  First of all, we have Canadian Thanksgiving to celebrate --bring on the roast dinner with all the trimmings!! Then we have the joy of watching the seasonal colours pop into a festival of  bright oranges, vibrant yellows and rustic shades of gold.

Pumpkin Glory

 

Like most people of my generation, when I see a pumpkin patch, I am instantly reminded of Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin. What a classic film. I watch it every year, along with Sleepy Hallow (Have you been watching the new series based on this story?), Hocus Pocus and all the other Halloween must-sees. My 'internal child' never tires of these films.
