Subject: RE: Folklore: Seen any Guys this year?
Well Guy Fawkes day is almost finished here, in NZ and I didn't see a single guy.
But the pyro tradition is alive and well - we went to the beach at Napier, Hawke's Bay and there were mini bonfires everywhere and fireworks galore, as well as the really big ones booming out further up the beach, where the organisers were charging people to go in by the soundshell. We just stayed where the crowds weren't too bad and had a lovely time watching. I didn't buy any fireworks myself this year - usually I spend $30-40 but I saved (and spent that much on a birthday tea instead!) I must be getting old!
