Happy Firework Night UK!
We went to a public fireworks display on the weekend so tonight we will be having some sparklers in the garden with some hotdogs!
Stay safe!
Don’t know about Firework Night?
From Wikipedia: Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London; and months later, the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot’s failure.
I had no idea this existed. So this is what the book Fawkes is based on? And the movie with the guy in the mask? I can’t think of the name, lol.
