Remember, Remember the 5th of November

Hello!

So you may or may not know - depending on where you live in the world - that the 5th of November is a significant day in the year in the UK... Not hugely significant like Christmas, but it's celebrated by most, like pancake day or Halloween.

 It's known as Bonfire Night, Fireworks Night, or Guy Fawkes Night, because back in England 1605, Guy Fawkes hatched a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London and everyone inside. Luckily, the Gunpowder Plot was uncovered, saving King James I and many others. 

Today, people remember what happened by letting off fireworks (just in the garden or going to magnificent displays), waving sparklers or lighting large bonfires with a Guy in the middle and then watching it all happen, wrapped up cosy and warm. Traditional bonfire food is also eaten, like bangers and mash, toffee apples and steaming puddings.

When I googled which countries celebrated Bonfire Night, it came up with the UK (obviously), Australia, Canada and New Zealand, but let me know in the comments if you do too, wherever you are in the world.

 I live in the UK and I like celebrating Bonfire Night, so now I have some photos to show you what I do. Hope you enjoy...
