If you’re living in the United States you’ll want to turn your clocks back an hour tonight before you head off to bed. In the UK we did this exactly seven days ago. So for the past week we’ve been only six hours ahead of our family and friends in Utah, instead of the usual seven. We won’t be messing with our clocks tonight. We have far more interesting things to do with our evening. Tonight is Guy Fawkes Night, or Bonfire Night. After sunset we’ll walk to the Stray where there will be an enormous crowd, even if there is pouring rain (as there usually is). Harrogate is expecting at least 11,000 people to show up, rain or no rain. There will be a huge bonfire and fireworks to celebrate the failure of a plot to blow up the House of Lords in 1605. Doesn’t that sound like fun?
