On 5 November in the UK, we traditionally remember the unsuccessful plot by Guy Fawkes and others to blow up the King and the Houses of Parliament.
This is nowadays usually at an organised bonfire and fireworks display, rather than in our own back gardens as it was when I was a child.
This year, I'll be celebrating with neighbours who still have younger children, so we'll be having a bonfire in their back garden, plus fireworks and food. I've been asked to bring along a supply of Scotch eggs and sausage rolls and we'll wrap potatoes in foil and cook them in the bonfire. I'm also going to make some traditional jam tarts and a couple of ginger cakes and there'll be mulled wine for the adults and warm apple cup for the children.
i did a quick google and came up with this website which has a little more history about the event we commemorate!
