In Australia there doesn’t seem to be anything happening in November. We do have Movember though. That’s a fund raising activity where people sponsor men to grow a moustache in the month of November.

If I was back in my country of birth I would be enjoying Bonfire Night. How I loved this night when I was a child. We’d have built an effigy of Guy Fawkes—the man who attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament way back when— and placed him on a huge bonfire in the back yard. Then we’d have fireworks, treacle toffee, baked potatoes and maybe hot chestnuts. The nights would be frosty and our breaths could be seen in the darkness. I remember the smell, the taste, and the excitement.
