Today is Diwali - the Hindu Festival of Light - and I'm that excited! I'm just off - with the Toyboy Trucker, Elle, The Doctor and his family - to celebrate it in style for the first time. As it involves sweets, lights, candles, and fireworks - I'm in my element.
We're going to the Hindu Temple first, then off to Wembley for the lights procession followed by fireworks, rounding it all off with a celebratory Indian banquet. I've got an Indian silk tunic (multi-coloured) to wear plus some sparkly shoes (naff but lovely) and masses of bling. I think I probably look like a fat Christmas tree but I don't care.
Sooo - sweets, sparkly, twinkly lights, glittery candles, loads of fireworks, masses and masses of colour and FOOD - oooh - I can't wait...
Happy Diwali to everyone (oh, and next year Diwali is on November 5th which is our wedding anniversary - so how good will that one be???).

Happy Diwali to you too, hope you all have a wonderful time.
I'm sure you'll look lovely and nothing like a Christmas tree.
I think Diwali is a gorgeous festival! Enjoy!

You're enthusiastic, you're all dressed up for the festival and a dream menu.
Have a great time out with friends and family.
ooh Diwali - all that sparkly gold, lights and sweets made with Ghee Butter!! Loved going to see the festival in Leicester!
Happy dīpāvali to you too. May your light shine bright.
All the very best,
