LOL Yes, she just won't admit to it! ;o)
Actually Nov 4th is Guy Fawkes (sp) Day which is celebrated in the UK with bonfires and fireworks, and ummmm eggs wrapped in sausage meat for eating (I can't think of what they're called right now, and I had them once at a Guy Fawkes party thrown by a Welsh friend... they are very tasty.) Ooooh, wait.... Scotch Eggs? I think that's it!
Cher, or one of the other people from the UK will have to fill you in on who the man was... I don't have a clue.

No our dogs hate all the bangs and whoooosh noises so I shall have to stay close to them, but as the display is in THEIR walkies field we get to see them for free from upstairs ..lol....Cher

Please to remember the Fifth of November, Gunpowder treason, and plot. I see no reason Why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
Or
Please to remember The Fifth of November, The poor old guy with a hole in his stocking A hole in his shoe A hole in his hat where his hair comes through, If you haven't got a penny a halfpenny will do, If you haven't got a halfpenny God bless you.
Nooo kidding! = :-O Best not commit treason then :))))
And here I sit in my house with people all around me "not forgetting gunpowder, treason and plot"! It almost sounds like the Blitz!! Still lots of folk really enjoy it
Love Christine
