Sparkler Party





Guyfolkes Day fell on Monday night. It was a night when the whole of England gathered together in many different places to display fireworks. And the story behind, one man, day named after him, attempted to set the queen on fire, but he failed. So, people these days celebrate the living queen by putting up fireworks.

The kids and their families had a slightly smaller party – the sparkler party, where they held on to sparklers which give out sparks. Nathan was not directly involved, he was in my arms, for fear that the sparks got to him.

The party was held at an English lady’s house, many internationals were invited. Met an au pair from Poland, she’s only 25, a really nice girl, she takes care of two British kids. Au pair is an equivalent term for nannies back home. They stay in the homes, free food and accommodation, plus pay, something like a maid, except that they only take care and charge of the children, and nothing else, no housework! Good job ya?
