Remember, remember...

Pow! Pow! Sparkle... sparkle...

Having grown up in Sydney (rather than Queensland and Canberra),  Guy Fawkes Night or Bon Fire Night was a foreign concept to me. Why celebrate the death of a man with fireworks?! I could never quite understand the reasoning nor a friend's excitement and her determination to celebrate it in Sydney while she was away from London.

Then I moved to London. I was converted. I have a childlike amazement and fascination with things blowing up and lighting up the night sky. Missing out on celebrations in 2012 (as I was in Sydney at the time!), I was determined not to let 2013 past me by minus fireworks.

So, a Facebook event was made and we all made plans to head to Southwark Park.

Southwark Council always puts on a good show and this year was no different. (with added fun fair this year!) Here's some questionable photos...

Here's to next year! Already counting down the days...
