Remember remember the 5th of November


This year marked the 400th anniversary of when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the House of Parliament so naturally the fireworks were out in force. We met up with Karen and Dom for drinks and dinner before setting off to see the fireworks at Blackheath. James and I had never been to the heath before but it looked massive from what we could tell (it was hard to get a sense of space because it was so dark). The fireworks were great and because we were on a hill, we could look 360 degrees around us and see other different fireworks displays going on in the distance. To me, Guy Fawkes night always marks the start of autumn - it's the first time we spend a significant period of time outdoors at night and it really makes you aware that it's getting cold now!
