Bonfire Night!

One or two early bangs but nothing later, we’ve had more most nights for a fortnight, let’s hope that’s the end of it.

I HATE fireworks - my poor dog gets so upset and just wants to go in the garden and bark at them all - and there have been so many of the bl**dy things, night after night. And more tonight I expect.......Ban them, I say, and just have organised displays.
The story of the puppy who died of fright because of firworks just broke my heart!!!!
BAN THEM

Remember rip-raps? Scared me silly when I was young!

I was brought up on RAF camps and private fireworks were not allowed. There was a big organised display, which was always spectacular.

Round here, firework night started on Saturday and has continued every night since. My poor pets were petrified, even though I had music on and kept talking to them.

It will be next week before the fireworks finally run out.

There's been nothing locally, not so much as a minor bang. The organised display was last Saturday. We don't go, we have to drive and it's too difficult to park. I do love fireworks, though. ?

There's been nothing in my neck of the woods, probably because it's been raining so much.
I remember Guy Fawkes as a few families getting together, with the dads lighting the blue touch paper, when I was growing up. Mums produced baked potatoes and home made toffee.
Calli - if you had a long name you had to write really quickly! I used to love catherine wheels.

I did miss waving sparklers around and writing my name in the air

For the past few years, we'd been to organised events with son, his partner and either his 2 girls or her 2 boys. Nobody mentioned it this year, so tonight, they got the bus to a large organised display, and I went to Zumba, as I always do on Tuesdays.

No, although the family has got together with another family with young children so I hope they had fun.
After all those years of organising either bonfire night at home or going out to an organised do, sometimes in the drizzle, I am thankful to give it a miss!

I used to take my children to organised events many years ago.

I suppose I'd go to an organised event if any of my friends wanted to attend and invited me but I am not very keen on fireworks.

Nothing going on round here.
My family don't do fireworks, the children have sensory processing difficulties and can't stand the bangs.
Plus they have a family of hedgehogs living in their garden.

No.
