Knitting for Happiness
Anne Taylor, founder of LFA explores the origins of the seasonal word 'bonfire'
“Why is
a bonfire so called?”Bon is French for good so does it mean a “good fire”?
Apparently it comes from the Middle English ”banefire” in which bane refers to bones.
Bones were incinerated, usually from animals killed for meat. Later the word was used to describe fires on which corpses were burned or texts which were considered heretical.
Today, however, bonfires come closer to the idea of “good fire “as they are usually lit for the celebration of happier occasions.

Eating healthily is clearly good for learning for living. Send for the free LFA pyramid chart which shows what types of food to eat and in what proportion. It categorises food into the colours of the rainbow.
Do you know the names of the colours in other languages?
Do you know what a rainbow is in the language you have studied or are studying now?
It might be fun to look them up!
