I love November here in the UK. We celebrate the day that a government rebel tried to blow up the House of Parliament by hiding gunpowder in the cellar. We light bonfires and set off fireworks as a representation of the rumbled plot. Crazy eh? The other reason I love November is because it's my birthday and this year I leave the 20's behind. This is the 22nd Anniversary of the first time I picked up a Saxophone, mind blowing!
