Bonfire Night

Last night we went to the local bonfire night celebrations {we took the photo}. It was held in town and the evening starts of with the lighting of a huge bonfire followed by a fireworks display. Every year the fireworks are better and better. It is not a small display either...it is along the size of the US 4th of July displays.

Bonfire Night is a uniquely British event when we "celebrate" the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot against the King and Parliament in the early 17th Century. In fact, nobody cares about the origins of the celebration anymore, but they enjoy a good bonfire, firework display, and a fun night out!
