Guy Fawkes

What is Guy Fawkes?


In New Zealand and in Commonwealth countries 5th November, is celebrated with Fun Firework to commemorate the anniversary of the failed Gunpowder Plot of the British Parliament in 1605.
Guy Fawkes Party in St Clair

We were luck enough to have two nights of celebration with fireworks and friends. First, the prelude on a misty Guy Fawkes night at the top of Baldwin Street, steepest street in the world with Jesse's friend Roscoe and his parents. The next evening (postponed from the previous day due to weather) at the Kennedy residence in St Clair beach, did not disappoint. We were treated with a delicious BBQ meal by chef Mike and his assistants Melanie & Holly.

The backyard fireworks display was magnificent.  The chilly night sky and sea air was filled with technicolor lights, smoke, pops, bangs along with oohs and aahs from the children. Then the competition began hotted up as neighbors got into the act. We were treated with additional shows all around us. Take a look at our video of the fireworks show.

    We made lots of short video clips of the fireworks that Jesse, joined together on iMovie but I was only able to load the first clip rather than the edited one. It contains stunning fireworks and voices in the background. The video will updated with a better version soon (probably with the help of Jesse).
