Anyone visiting our village for the first time last night...

[dotty.]

would have thought it a very aggressive, warlike, fanatical, revolutionary and noisy place to be.....what was it like round yours this bonfire weekend?

The Somme battlefield.

London seems to have lots of firework displays, the ones around our way tend to be quite low key, not going on too long. What worries me more are the idiots who lob fireworks anywhere, i pity the animals with all that noise.

tony we could have been in Helmond province it was crazy, i'd prayed for rain........

Around here, its the sheep that light the fireworks, the locals take cover in the Inn.

[tonyav]

Same here dot, but unfortunately it was a dry night.

[DTCwordfan]

It was dry for the fireworks down here as well, though my throat was well wetted.

[tonyav]

Was you down the sheepshaggers arms DT.

[dotty.]

don't let the thread deteriorate tony it's hanging by a thread as it is.....

[Prudie]

It was noisy but very pretty - there was a free display going on all around for about 4 hours.

[tonyav]

Ok, dot.

There were minor skirmishes here....surprising as the locals get their bombs out at any opportunity. But-it was raining on and off-that may have helped.

Ours was really good dotty. Lovely atmosphere, great display, well organised.
