Novemeber 3rd:  Fireworks really bad last night, I know Haydonleigh School were having and event and I could hear that, but as background noise to what I think must have been in the garden of an Abbey Meads resident, it went on so long and so near, that earmuffs would not have helped as it was rattling the windows.  It went on for so long that I did get up and go out to see where it was.  The rockets were breaking on a level with my eye -i.e. I didn't have to look up.

I suppose I can stop worrying about wildlife now, because anything that would have died of fright already has by now.

Thought I'd put up a few pics from a firework display I went to on Saturday. They're not brilliant (you can see that I wasn't holding the camera too steadily) but a few people seem to like them.







These were taken at the polo ground off Malborough Road.

Fireworks don't need to be loud, in my humble opinion. But they should be visually beautiful for me to enjoy them, and these ones were  :)

It's been unusually and mercifully quiet sinc ethe weekend, but wonder what this weekend will bring, I see the local shop is selling fireworks 60% off.

My missus bought a box of indoor fireworks.

Dear God.

As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.

We don't have to buy anything in to have a good show of them in our house, Mart.


I spoke too soon - more fireworks last evening.
