No. What happened?
I actually thought, considering it was what we used to call Guy Fawkes Day last night, the loud noises from fireworks ended remarkably early. About 9pm?
Maybe I just fell asleep and didn't hear any later ones.
Do people actually burn Guys any more? Apart from at places like Lewes, where I believe they still have Bonfire Societies and burn effigies of various political figures etc.
The accompaniment to our "Christmas Pudding" aka Nothing-Whatever-Like-A- Christmas-Pudding last year at The Cherry Tree was "brandy butter ice-cream."
If it had ever been near any brandy, the brandy must have been waved in its direction from a very great distance. Same with butter.
The ice cream tasted like bog standard "vanilla" from a catering tub.
At least it did bear some resemblance to ice cream.
Whereas the "Christmas Pudding" bore no resemblance whatever to any Christmas Pudding I have ever seen or tasted in my many decades of seeing and tasting Christmas Puddings.
Oh, and Cinzano Bianco. Bleurgh. My sister used to drink that. 🤢
