Fire

[kingcreevey]

Dear Blaise,

Thank you for the fireworks! I thought they went off rather well, but, did you know that Americans don't celebrate Bonfire Night at all? I tried pointing out that it happened in 1605 and they weren't a recognised independent country until 1783, so it was still part of their past and that, therefore, they could celebrate, because it's like with Halloween and Christmas were loads of people ignore all the history bits and just do the celebrating bits, but they didn't seem to go down well, either! But I think the explosions were totally worth the two days in jail and the fines!

Yours,
Dennis
