  More of a "bonfire day" than a "bonfire night". I hope they all stood further upwind or those heavy dresses and shawls would reek of smoke when they went back inside the house.

  mmm, I love that smell. I miss it. I used to complain about it, until my mother said that smoke follows beauty :)

  Hi, Thanks for your comments! I agree that it looks really strange that they stood so close to the fire in this image, especially as there were children and animals within reach of the smoke and flames as well! Health and safety was certainly not as much of a priority in 1853!!

  *What* a spot for a bonfire. It's on Ffordd Isaf, you can see it on streetview - this is the closest contemporary view I can find: download.viamichelin.com/media/image/XL/lzh/7pz/IoRnSKmHr...
