November: from the Latin ‘novem’ meaning 9, as it used to be the
9th
month in the Roman calendar. Much awaited is Bonfire night when the UK commemorate
the 1605 Gunpowder Plot with bonfires and fireworks and of course delicious parkin.
Did you know? Until 1859 it was compulsory, by Royal Decree, to celebrate!
Why not make some Parkin?
