Mad 2 weeks.... fireworks halloween and no dates!

HI all it has been a while since I have written anything down. Have had a mad couple of weekends and weekdays in fact with EnFamile....... My fathers 25th wedding anniversary on Halloween, which meant I had to carve a pumpkin at a friends house Friday evening (red wine Inc) and i did an amazing job it had a haunted house bats and everything.... dave texted wanted to know why we had not spoken in a while? how am I what am i doing for Halloween? Reply: Busiest night of the year.... bought a new Gti broomstick and everything! off to Family Do x
Dave: well have a lovely time xx
Anyway family do was great in a Hunting lodge just outside London, beautiful place. Its stuffed full of finds from Brocante, and vintage finds from the uk too, They are art directors for very famous films.... They are my Father really good friends. there were lots of people from the old days who had not seen me since I was 13. Nice to catch up with my dads side of the family they are all really cool, I always regret that I didn't know them when growing up. My mum wouldn't talk to them or let me have anything to do with them.... which is horrible, I think. My son adored all my cousins, they are great lads! I hope my son always has as many family as possible on both sides....
So then the old folks came over and stayed for a couple of days... More drinking and eating!
New lodger moved in.... she is great and the kids love her, My son and my step sister friend from birth persons daughter spent the whole evening drawing her pictures and finding sweets in her room, whilst sister and I drank cheap wine and smoked a quick sneaky one I the garden....... Then off to a fireworks party with neighbours! which ended with some of the older teenagers getting a bit too drunk and falling over! the younger ones all Putting cheap fireworks in piles and seeing how many we could set off in one go! this was great fun and I was supervising at all times... i think Its wonderful that they were allowed to do this as I really do believe that children/teenagers need a little of that sort of freedom its good for the soul. rather than those women who wrap their children in cotton wool and are constantly warning them of impending danger, i find these are the children who push the boundaries too far and do silly things! My son was dragged ever closer to the bonfire by one of these molly coddled children..... needless to say when the bonfire started to spit she walked closer and my son legged it! Well done son, allowing you a bit of freedom has enabled you to think for yourself!
