Monday evening was Guy Fawkes night. The anniversary of the Gun Powder plot. Essentially, a group of English Roman Catholics attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament as a way of removing the Protestant King and his court.
Cambridge had an amazing fireworks display, staged on the Midsummer common. While I am uncertain as to who was right or who was wrong, as the light disappears and winter approaches there is something fabulous about looking at the sky and seeing it splattered with coloured light.
