Star Light Night

There was food and drink so that if we got thirsty

or hungry, we can drink and eat. There were lots of
games like magic tricks, storytelling, hopscotch, fish

the bottle and bouncy castle, but the main event

was the fireworks. After much excitement we

gathered around the bonfire, it was storytelling

time and all the children listened keenly to the
scary stories told by the adults.

Afterwards we got something to eat, which I’m sure

was nothing like the food they enjoyed back then.

Roasted breadfruit, roasted red herring, sugarcane
and bread nuts – delicious organic food.

We sat down on a rock in the yard and talked

about how much fun we had at the Star light

Extravaganza aka Guy Fawkes Night and looked
forward to having another wonderful time popping

firecrackers and small bombs and meeting around

the bonfire. We also wondered if we could have a

little of the old time fun.
