Remember Remember the 5th of November

It's that time of year again. The anniversary of Guy Fawke's foiled gunpowder plot. Toffee apples, fireworks, sparklers. Bonfire night!

Tonight I went to a fireworks display at the Forest Recreation Ground in Nottingham complete with funfair, bonfire and plenty of fireworks.

The event was free and is run annually by Nottingham City Council.

The sky high bonfire was lit at around 7.45pm with cheers from the crowd and a very proud guy sat at the top.

With in minutes the fire was roaring which is just what we needed in the cold, damp, autumnal weather.

The show kicked off at around 9pm as thousands of spectators gathered round to watch the 15 minute spectacular.

It was easily the largest bonfire event I have been to and it proved extremely popular. After the fireworks me and my housemates decided we'd grab some fresh donuts for the walk home, but the stall was sold out! So we clambered back through the crowds of people and headed home. 

All in all it was a cute, traditional bonfire night, but now that's over it can only mean that Christmas is on it's way!!!! 🎄
