Bonfire Night

It's been raining nearly all day so I thought most people would hold off until the weekend, and it's not been too bad. I went out (deliberately) at 6.30pm when there were more bangs and hisses than he liked, simply because when I am out of the house he goes up to his bedroom and tucks himself up in his pyramid bed which is nice safe place for him to be if he is scared. (snippage) The things I do for that cat! The things we all do for our cats! I expect I'll be doing it again Friday and Saturday - and then it's Diwali, and those fireworks are like WWIII. I've never heard of Bonfire Night in the US. I can't think of anywhere in the US where that might take place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night |

Bonfire Night

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night Thanks for posting this information. I was familiar with Guy Fawkes Night and the plot that inspired it, but I had never heard it called Bonfire Night until I started reading this thread. In the US, the two occasions when we have lots of fireworks are Independence Day (4th of July) and New Year's Eve. When I was young, we often went to a drive-in theater (almost nonexistent now), and they always had fireworks on Saturday evenings. That was just for the entertainment of patrons and did not have any cultural significance. The theater was located far enough away from homes that the noise would not have bothered anyone. MaryL |
