I don't really get it.... I go along with it, but I don't get it.
Some bloke called Guy Fawkes is caught trying to blow up the houses of parliament years ago and so each year now everyone in UK builds a big bonfire and lets fireworks go to celebrate...
For my hubby this is a milestone in the year... New Year, Vacation, Summer, His birthday, My birthday, Bonfire Night, Christmas.
So tonight we will go out to 'Rothwell Park', we'll be a wrapped up with hats, scarves, wellies etc...This year he has been plannng the 'goodies' to eat all week, so we'll be taking Oxtail Soup in a flask (urgh!), my mum will make Bonfire toffee and I have Yorkshire Parkin. We'll watch the fire burn and 'ooh ' and 'aah' at the fireworks whilst Hubby has his goodies and then within a couple of hours we'll be back at home, all our clothes smelling of smoke.
Now don't get me wrong I enjoy it and I always have a good time, but it seems such a strange tradition!!
