Firework Night
I do love fireworks, always have. The council don't fund the local firework display now and fireworks are getting more scarce which is a shame in my opinion.
As youngsters we used to make our own which was always fun. I remember watching David McMahon peering into a cardboard tube as the gunpowder he had poured into it ignited. I couldn't stop laughing as the rockety flames char-grilled his face. He wasn't seriously hurt, he just got a Morgan Freeman-esque speckledyness on his face.
I demonstrated the power of an army issued thunder flash once to my brother in my mums garden. I saw the patio windows literally bend and within 15 minutes the gas board were knocking on doors.
Another time, when I was much older and should have known better, I smashed several windows in a line of terraced houses whilst giving a demonstration on how easy it is to make a bomb! I was dressed in a suit!
Nothing quite as dangerous this year, I took the Bunster for a ride in the car to some hilltops. We saw very little.
