Bonfire Night

After reading Nina's gorgeously evocative post about the way she scents her house I've been inspired to experiment a little with some nice smells here at home. I splashed out on a lovely apple and elderberry  scented candle and have been burning seasonally spicy essential oils. However, the best way of scenting our home so far has definitely been the gingerbread I baked on Saturday which filled the air with yummy sniffiness for a whole day. The gingerbread accompanied us, as tradition dictates on Bonfire Night, to our friends' house where we oohed and aahed at the fireworks, ate bangers and mash and fresh gingerbread and drank mulled cider around the bonfire. Good times.
