So today 5th November is a very special day. Not because it is Guy Fawkes Night, but because it is my birthday. That's right, I was born with a bang.
Guy Fawkes Night
Guy Fawkes along with other co-conspirators plotted to blow up the Houses of Lords and overthrow the then king.
Guy Fawkes Night originates from the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a failed conspiracy by a group of provincial English Catholics to assassinate the Protestant King James I of England and replace him with a Catholic head of state. The survival of the king was first celebrated on 5 November 1605, after Guy Fawkes, left in charge of the gunpowder placed underneath the House of Lords, was discovered and arrested.
On 5 November 1605 Londoners were encouraged to celebrate the King's escape from assassination by lighting bonfires. - Wikipedia
Fireworks
Traditionally fireworks are a great and entertaining aspect of Guy Fawkes night. With all the colours, loud noise and bright lights, a well directed fireworks display is an event to behold.
Wouldn’t it be nice when people visit your blog and website that they get the very same excited feeling about it.
Your blog should be like fireworks. It should light up the internet night sky. It should be filled with bright and colourful content, so that when it is read it brings a great big smile on the readers face and leaves them with a sense of awe.
