First, wear layers. And I mean layers. Bonfire Night in November is always freezing. You will feel your toes disappear around 7:15 PM. That’s normal.
what is bonfire night and how is it celebrated?: ガイフォークス とは – CXOZ
Bring a flask. Hot chocolate, tea, or (if you’re brave) some mulled wine. Maple syrup in your hot chocolate is a game-changer, by the way. You’re welcome.
Also, remember the sparkler rule: One sparkler burns at 2,000°F. That’s hot enough to melt glass. So don’t let toddlers “help” hold them. Just… don’t.
The Great Food Debate
You will eat a burnt sausage in a cheap bun. It’s tradition. The grill will be smoky, the sausage will be carbonized on one side, and you’ll love it anyway.
Then there’s the bonfire toffee. It’s brittle, it’s sticky, and it will pull your fillings out. Eat it anyway. It’s November 5th, not a dentist appointment.
And please, for the love of all things warm, bring gloves. Your hands will be holding a hot dog in one hand and a sparkler in the other. That’s a lot of hand traffic.
