Today
is November 5th. Today is Guy Fawkes Day in England. A strange holiday
that remembers the attempt
in the 17th century to blow up parliament.
Remember
remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder,
treason and plot.
I
see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should
ever be forgot...
As a child this
was an exciting day that we always looked forward to. There were huge
bonfires where a "Guy" was placed on top to represent the traitor, tasty outside cold weather treats such as fire roasted
Jacket Potatoes, sticky parkin, mushy peas and pork pies washed down
with hot chocolate. All of the fun is followed up by a fireworks
display.
Because England
is not known for it's mild winter weather, I always recall it either
being incredibly cold or wet. It never dampened our spirits.
HAPPY
GUY FAWKES DAY TODAY.
