Star Light Night
There was food and drink so that if we got thirsty
or hungry, we could 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, sug-
arcane 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. We 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.
