Well I'm 400 miles South, just outside London and its about 1C and we too have been watching our village fireworks display which was, as ever, spectacular!
Then walked to the pub, had a pint, chatted to lots of people we know, came home and cooked a pizza and got stuck into a 2000 vintage bottle of excellent French wine.
PS I used to drink plenty of French wine, all over the world, long before we joined the EU so I'm not too worried about Brexit, on that aspect at least.
