Guy Fawkes night

The 5th of November is Guy Fawkes night - a signal for bonfires and fireworks - bang bang bang. This evening I was washing the windows (something that's been burning a hole in my to-do list) and watching displays now and then. And when there was a particularly spectacular one, it took too long to get the camera to capture it - it had finished. So - you'll have to imagine the fireworks in the dark space at centre top, above the grocery store (open till 11pm) and beside the flats over the betting shop (which has its sign lit up all night!). So nice to live on a lively street.

But usually the municipal firework displays are held at the weekend nearest 5th November - fingers crossed for good weather. Alarmingly, Halloween seems to be gaining popularity at the expense of Guy Fawkes....
