It's 46 degrees here in the UK dry, but cloudy and it's Guy Fawkes Night. Bonfires, guys and fireworks. This annual tradition is a way of remembering the events of November 5th 1605 when a plot to blow up the English Houses of Parliament, in an attempt to kill all inside which would have included the King, was foiled. One of the most famous conspirators, of what became known as the Gunpowder Plot, was Guido Fawkes.
Who, having been found guilty of treason, was in fact hung, drawn and quartered and not burned at all.
That's only happened to millions of straw dummies, (guys) made in his image, on bonfires since.

So I'm pleased that it's dry for the kids to have a good time.

(Sorry for the history lesson, I didn't mean to preach)

Guy Fawkes here last night was a lil cloudy n drizzly but people went for it anyway. My family will be celebrating this Sat night, we have a river behind our place so we're going to have a bonfire, cook up and fireworks to follow.
