Sunday 6 November 2011

Who would have thought

that the early hours of November 6th would have me sitting outside enjoying the night and its silence...?!
I was thinking of the bonfires in England and the fact that pretty soon, on November 11th, there will be bonfires in my home region as well commemorating the day of St Martin. Something that links this region with West Flanders and Ypres, since there St Martin of Tours is also especially worshipped.
Futhermore at exactly 11:11 am on the 11th day of the 11th month the Hoppeditz will awake to mark the beginning of the fifth season, Karneval/Fastelavond ;)!
