FIRECRACKER NIGHT

The 5th of November is firecracker night in London. It celebrates a 400 year old plot by a Catholic man Fawkes to blow up Parliment House and King James I. He was discovered in the basement of Parliment House with many barrels of Gun Powder. Years later londoners celebrate with massive fireworks displays across the city. On sat night we went to Ravenscourt Park fair to watch the big bonfire and firecracker display. On Sun night we trecked up to Parliment Hill near our house and let of some of our own (warren burnt his glove, very dangerous business). We then sat back with a view over the entire city and watched the sky come alive with hundreds of beautiful explosions.
