Remember Remember....

....to go and see the fireworks on the 5th of November!

Or, as it should be:

....... the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

I remember my 'first' 5th of November.

It was 2008, I (Martin, 'The Dutchman') had just came over to England 4 days earlier.

My whole life packed in a transit van.

Moving to a foreign country, moving in with the love of my life...

Best thing I've ever done!

Fireworks in November? I couldn't quite get it... Celebrating treason with fireworks?? Was it a culture difference?

Eventually I understood what is was all about, but unfortunately I hadn't had the chance to go and see the fireworks over the past few years... Until this year....

A hotdog, a massive bonfire that was basically gone in 30 minutes time (the boys must have loved their petrol...) and the best firework display I have ever seen in my life!

 Warming up...

It almost looked like a planet suddenly appeared in the sky!

(I know, I have the imagination of a little boy sometimes!)

 One of my favourites!

I thoroughly enjoyed my 'first' 5th of November!

Well done organisers in Hungerford!

And thank you very much Emma for taking me there!

'I'll remember remember.... next year's 5th of November!
