Today has been grey, drizzly and generally grim. Difficult to feel enthusiastic about anything, let alone the thought of standing in a muddy field in the dark for best part of an hour.
But...the rain just stopped in time, the jacket potatoes and chilli were in the oven so we set off for the local fireworks display...
Our village is only small but it is renowned for its pretty spectacular firework display and attended by hundreds of people crowding onto the small private airfield.
The bonfire was already getting going by the time we arrived, chucking out an appreciable amount of heat even at a distance...
And there is something about fireworks that just rekindles that bit of child in me...
I think its that sense of anticipation combined with lovely colours and patterns...
I love the sound and the smells...
This one crackled like popping candy...
Its not quite the same going without excited small children in tow - the one big person who came with us disassociated himself as soon as possible! But it still gave me a much needed buzz.
Hope you all had sparkly times tonight.

Glad to hear you had a good bonfire night..it was by far the mildest and dryest we've had in years.
