November is certainly a notable month – with the beginning of the month starting Bonfire Night on the 5th November, where we celebrated a foiled attempt by Guy Fawkes and his associates to blow up the Houses of Parliament, and Diwali, observed by more than a billion people across the world.

Diwali, also known as the festival of lights brings prayer, feasts, fireworks and, for some, a new year. The end of Diwali in 2021 coincides with Bonfire Night – so no doubt the skies over London during the first weekend in November lit up!

Other notable dates this and next month include…

Thursday 25 November is Carers Rights Day.
