November: Bonfire night, Remembrance Day Service, a visit to a folk club, stage two of the canal walk and a family meal to celebrate Liz's 59th birthday.

We joined Michael and Becca's firework party, with Ross, Emma and Freya, Michael's parents, old friends John and Gerry and a host of others to enjoy a bonfire, fire works and good food and drink. Michael is the author of the Stryker Chronicles - exiting novels of the English Civil war.

John usually takes photographs of the Remembrance Day Service in Petersfield, which this year was blessed with bright sunshine and a large turnout of townsfolk.

The Good Intent pub in Petersfield hosts a folk meeting on the seconf Tuesday of the month and John went along, with his business partner John B to join the fun. John B joined in playing and John S filmed several songs - see the video section.

Emma and Kerry organised a wonderful Sunday lunch for the whole family in a pub in Liss to celebrate Liz's 59th birthday. There was a wonderful log fire burning and we all went back to Mark and Kerry's after lunch.

John and Terry undertook Stage 2 of the Avon and Kennett canale - we drove to Newbury, got a train to Aldermaston then walked back to Newbury.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November! We joined with the Arnold family for bonfire and fireworks.
The Remembrance Day service in the Square and High Street, Petersfield was led by Rev'd Will Hughes, vicar of St Peters's. Here he is framed by the caps of soldiers from Bordon.
We discovered that there was a folk club meeting in The Good Intent in Petersfield (they meet on the second Tuesday of each month, starting at 7:00 pm) and in November John took his camera along and made some videos of those playing. Visit the video page to see one of them.

Kerry, Wren, Tim, Freya and Ross - also present, but no shown here were Lisa, Mark, Emma, and John - and of course Liz, who took these photographs!
John and Terry continue their walk along the Kennet and Avon canal - this section was from Aldermaston to Newbury.
