Mmm, not a lot to add to this blog recently, but just to say that it’s been the best Fireworks Night I have had in ages.

There was nothing that special about it in some ways, but I went to the local display with my brother and dad – it was nicely cool without raining and we just had a lot of innocent fun waving sparklers around.  A hip flask with some very warming brandy in it helped too.

The organised display was excellent actually, it got all the oohs and aahs you would expect from the crowd and there were some vibrant catherine wheels that didn’t actually get stuck on their nail for once.

Sometimes British traditions can be fun!
