Remember remember the 5th of November

...less treason and plot this year, more Chesney Hawkes, bizarrely. One of the largest fireworks displays in Bristol is held on Clifton Down each year by the Rotary Club, and this year I went along. There's more than just fireworks though. Not only was Chesney just starting on 'The One and Only' when we arrived, but he then went on to light the bonfire. It was 80's pop-tastic. The fireworks were pretty good too, although sadly the rain took some of the fun out of everything.

After the fireworks we went back to Jen's house in Clifton where we had a few drinks along with some traditional bonfire night snacks - toasted marshmallows on sticks, roasted bananas in foil and other stuff that could be cooked on a fire. It's funny to think that the next national celebration thing will be Christmas!
