The 5th of November is a special night of celebration in England called Guy Fawkes Night. This holiday started as a way of celebrating the failed Gunpowder Plot on November 5th, 1605. To celebrate, the English have their own "4th of July" styled night full of bonfires, fireworks, and good food.
I had so much fun celebrating the night up on Tyler Hill in Canterbury with a number of friends. I had a tasty burger and spiced up ginger beer. We stood and talked next to the flames that engorged the mountain of wood and branches through the night and then returned to a bar on campus to hang out for a while. It was a great night and a reminder of the blessings of community.
