All this week the Essex'ee Legs team will be celebrating all
things sparkly and colourful to join in the festivities of bonfire night!
Reminiscing about fireworks and huddling round a bonfire with family and
friends, always brings back childhood memories! I'm sure we all
remember being told the story of Guy Fawkes...caught red handed ready to light
36 barrels of gun powder in the Houses of Parliament on the 5th of November
1605, Guy Fawkes was captured and executed. Such a heart-warming story!
Bonfires were lit to celebrate the kings safety, so the 5th of November has
been traditionally celebrated every year since, albeit a little more elaborately.
If you're attending a friends bonfire party or a spectacular
firework event, be sure to wrap up warm and wear some colour tights to add an
explosion of vibrancy to your outfit ;) Jonathan Aston 40 Denier Opaque Tightsare cosy and are available in 4 bright colours.
If you're throwing your own bonfire bash then here's our
idea of firework party heaven...
String as many lights and bunting along your fences and
tree's as you can for some enchanting decor. Lanterns and blankets will keep
you warm along with the bonfire and hot chocolate :) Hot spiced apple rum punch for the adults wouldn't go a miss too! Stuff yourselves with hot
dogs, pumpkin pie and smores! Whoever came up with the idea of smores is a
genius! Simply toast your marshmallows on the bonfire, take a piece of
chocolate and sandwich between to biscuits- Delicious! So layer up with some fabulous colour hosiery and cosy knits, have fun and enjoy
the fireworks, safely :)
