Bonfire Night

Remember, remember the fifth of November.

We wrote about Bonfire Night before. It’s here.

Not much has changed.

You don’t see people doing Penny for the Guy, you know, begging.

Most people go to public firework displays, but they are even more expensive.

You can dress up!

Animals still get scared and people still get burned, seriously.

Vandals still throw fireworks at people.

Food eaten is often unhealthy or dangerous.

Enjoy.

Newark

Newark was a place we had passed through on the train dozens of times, then it featured on a tv show, so we had to go.

There are lots of old and wobbly buildings, a castle (ruins), a river and the odd market.

It’s a bit of a journey from King’s Cross, heading north towards York and Leeds, but worth a visit, especially if you like antiques.
