Rusty,

It does, you have to click on it and when it comes up be patient - the fire is a bit slow burning :D

Guy Fawkes day was banned in Australia because it was November and the danger of wild fires but I remember it as a child :)

OK Karen,

You got me now, I live in New England (USA), I have no idea of who
Guy Fawkes is. So please forgive my ignorance but, who is he ?

Tom :confused: :)

Tom,

Have a look at this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes and if there is not enough information there try http://www.bonefire.org/guy/bonfire.php

Now we know where Rusty got his fire :D

Tom,
we are in danger of losing our Guy Fawkes celebrations as the UK is turning into a nanny state. Who knows whether or not there is a modern Guy lurking around.:D :D

This is interesting. I had not heard of this tradition before. Will check out the links.
Thank you.

Karen and Kev.... Thanks for responding. I had no idea of who he was.
Fascinating story of plotting and intrigue.

Thanks again........Tom :)

Was thinking of getting out my camera to have a go at taking pictures of all the fireworks tomorrow night....but I've got a temperature and am starting to shiver so I think I'll be staying in.:(

You Americans have got it right, having your annual day for displaying fireworks on July 4th in the middle of the summer!
