We've just been on our annual pilgrimage to Kangaroo Valley for the winter solstice, where we converge on Emma and Dave's property and enjoy a big bonfire night, minus the wicker man. With the kids a year older they are already wise to the dangers of fire, having witnessed last year Emma and Dave almost blow themselves up when they used petrol to help get the fire started. This year there were more of us and more kids, with the adults enjoying some warming beverages and the kids enjoying the mud, toasting marshmallows, and dancing with sparklers and glow sticks.
