I was invited to my grandson’s bonfire party on Sunday night. 4 lads from 2-7 I thought it would be nice to take some fireworks with me so popped into Asda late in the afternoon and bought what I thought was a good selection box. It was £29.99 a reasonable price or so I thought. I topped it up with a pack of rockets @ £9.99 and was pleased when I was told it was ‘buy one get one free’. I couldn’t resist checking the selection box out when I got back to the car and to my horror found it was a single firework with 48 actions. Now not wanting to disappoint the lads I found another outlet and bought a proper selection box £39.99. It was so big I had to drop the back seat down to get it in the boot. Think I went a bit over the top. The fireworks were too large to let off in their small garden so tonight we had another party at my house. I’m not sure how many fireworks we had but it lasted almost twenty five minutes. It was great the evening was clear, a little warmer than on Sunday with an almost full moon again. I normally travel down to Corby for their firework display but missed it this year so the money saved in petrol went up in smoke via my back garden. We had baked potatoes chestnuts and parkin. All traditional stuff which everyone enjoyed. a splendid evening celebrating a British tradition; bloody great.
Dunno why but i like this post…. :D Whats with the Dutch name by the way… :?:
