Saturday 5 November - We decided to finally celebrate bonfire night or Guy Fawkes day in the traditional British fashion by attending a bonfire and watching a fireworks display. We drove over to the Clevedon Cricket pitch where the town had set up a few carnival games, food stalls and rides. The main attraction however was the massive bonfire at the other end of the field which consisted of old chairs, wooden pallets and a small boat. Before lighting the bonfire there were performances by fire twirlers and fire breathers. The pyre went up in a huge blaze and we watched for a while until it had died down a bit at which point the fireworks display began. We were very close to the launch point and the fireworks were not very high, it was a very intimate setting but a spectacular display nonetheless. It was a complex and long lasting display and we thoroughly enjoyed it. When the fireworks were finished we returned to the car and made our way back to Bristol, we were home before 9.
