Happy Guy Fawkes' Day!

Tomorrow is Bonfire Night, so everyone is shooting off fireworks all around us. As usual, we failed to recognize the significance of the occasion and it never occured to us that, like 4th of July, this is the time when all the English shoot off fireworks to celebrate the fact that Guy Fawkes wasn't able to blow up Parliament.

The neighbors in the next yard, three ladies, are shooting off fireworks and we have a great view from our back stairs. It's very festive!
