True to form the weather was wet and a little cold for the fireworks but there was one major thing missing, the bonfire. Its funny because nobody seemed to notice or should i say mention it but i thought that the fire was one of the most major parts of Guy Fawkes Night. Is it because the times are changing and it’s become less about the history and the story and more about the firework show. I felt a little cheated really, next year be sure that i will be building the biggest of fires with the ugliest guy to stick on top. I did however make some fantastic bonfire toffee and cinder toffee for the evening and just to keep the damp chill out a small snifter which complemented extremely well.
