Guy Fawkes

We survived our first Guy Fawkes night, actually I should say week.
Since Thursday last week there have been fireworks going off all over the place. The first couple of nights there were just the odd ones going off. It was a bit scary riding home when you have kids all ove rthe place in possession of fireworks. It seems you don't need a licence so it isn't all controlled and in one place like back home. Over the weekend we were sitting in our living room watchign the fireworks going off from about 4 different places. It was actually pretty cool to watch it all from the comfort of our own living room. It did get a bit much after awhile with the same types always going off and well it was a bit tiresome, cool for awhile then we had enough.
What we did miss was actually going to a bonfire. We assumed that it would all happen on the night of November 5th, silly us, it was actually on the Friday night at the park near us. We will have to make sure we don't miss it next year.
It all seems a bit much though to celebrate a terrorist act. But I guess any reason to celebrate is a good one.
Andrew and I are in major study mode now for the next couple of weeks so you probably won't here from me for awhile.
