5. November

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I can think of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot...

It is Bonfire Night! If you have watched the V for Vendetta film you know what I am talking about! Just to give you a short historic overview...keep on reading :-)
"The Gunpowder Plot was a failed assassination attempt by a group of provincial English Catholics against King James I of England and VI of Scotland. The plot intended to kill the king, his family, and most of the Protestant aristocracy in a single attack by blowing up the House of Parliament during the State Opening on 5 November 1605."
Well, it was a big day...You couldn't catch a bus cause each one was packed with hundreds of people trying to go somewhere to catch a glimpse of the bonfire and fireworks. However, I finally made it to the Roundhay Park. Luckily, I wasn't by myself...I had great company for a romantic night (Thanks girls!) + an excellent look at the bonfire! :-)
Look and See!

Hey Süße, das sieht ja spannend aus. Ich ab V for Vendetta gesehen, aber hatte ehrlich gesagt keinen Plan, dass man das in England so feiert! Ich will allerdings nicht wissen, wie deine Klamotten danach gestunken haben... hehe
