bonfire night

November 5th is bonfire night, the biggest celebration of the year in Lewes. special memories. two years ago, we were all stunned by the procession of costumed societies down high street, torch lit and preparing sombrely for the monstrous fires they’d soon be starting all over our sleepy town. a special night I still think of often. Fieke and Lexi are there now, back in that world. I hope they manage okay being there alone, I don’t know how I’d feel in their shoes - though I do envy their ability to walk down the same lanes I can only see now in old photos and dreams. I wish I was with them. that world is so impossibly far from me now.

Lewes, I hope you have a lovely Guy Fawkes night. I’ll be thinking of and missing you a little extra tonight. all my love <<
