Dear Charity,
It’s Guy Fawkes or bonfire night here in England. Such a weird celebration to remember the attempted to blow up the houses of parliament in London, 1605. This evening there is a firework display and large fire at the park. I can see it from the window of the hotel. They are also setting up a funfair right now. I won’t be going, no need with my view here. I’ll try and take some photos to show you what it’s like.
Hope everyone is well and I’ll be home in a few days,
Love, Bill.
Even more weird (or perhaps not) is for many years after the event, we Brits were to celebrate Mr Fawkes failure… by a law passed in Parliament. The message: Thou shalt not be rid of the king!
