A time when we meet to watch bonfires burn and fireworks light up the sky, while we are warmly wrapped in snuggly hats and gloves.
But the celebratory atmosphere is a far cry from the origins of 5 November.
Guy (Guido) Fawkes, from York, and fellow conspirators, rented out a house close to the Houses of Parliament and smuggled 36 barrels of gunpowder into a cellar of the House of Lords. That was enough to completely destroy the building!
The plot began to unravel when an anonymous letter was sent to William Parker, the 4th Baron Monteagle, warning him to avoid the House of Lords. The letter was made public and this led to a search of Westminster Palace in the early hours of 5 November.
Fawkes was the explosive expert, and it was he who had been left in the cellars to set off the fuse. He was caught when a group of guards discovered him at the last moment.
Parliament declared 5 November a national day of thanksgiving, and the first celebration of it took place in 1606.
Stay warm and stay safe!

Our best-selling cookbook – the Dairy Book of Home Cookery – is one of the most-loved cookbooks of all time. Many people have grown up with it, raising their families cooking from it, and passing it on to children and grandchildren.
Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite and Celebrity Masterchef winner Lisa Faulkner are both big fans of The Dairy Book of Home Cookery.
Since it’s publication, we have been sent a huge number of stories associated with this cherished book.
Here are just a few:
‘I still use my Nana’s cookbook (which is considerably older than me!) for all my staple recipes – not only did she teach me to cook, she was my best friend, and this treasured book was left to me when she passed away.’
‘I first started making the Family Fruit Cake with my grandmother as a child. It’s an easy recipe and uses my favourite ingredient – lemon curd – which she made from scratch.’
‘It has the best tasting Victoria Sponge ever!’
‘I remember making Coconut Ice for my Dad, with my Mum, in the 1970s. I still make it for him. Happy Days.’
‘I learned how to make perfect meringues using my first dairy cookbook nearly 40 years ago.’
‘My copy of the book dates to 1983 when our first child was born and it remains one of my go to recipe books.I still use lots of the recipes. The cherry and coconut cake recipe is simple to follow, but always makes a wonderfully moreish moist cake, a favourite with the family and friends, it is also a great reliable cake to bake for charity sales.’
