Watch Bonfire Night Fireworks from High Ground



Dave, Ann, Hazel & I went to the Scouts' Bonfire at Chelsea Park armed with sparklers and Malibu infused hot chocolate. We missed their firework display but the fire was still going strong and we had fun writing our names with our sparklers. We bumped into the Baxter kids (Ant also armed like us, but with a hip flask of port!) and said hi.

After a bit we got a taxi to Meersbrook Park and climbed the hill to watch cityscape lit up by fireworks - really beautiful and atmospheric. A few other park loiterers let off fireworks of their own (lots of squealing from us) and a girl performed with fire poi (a round of applause from us).

I think every year from now I'll find a nice big hill overlooking a city... I can't think of a better way to spend Bonfire Night.

Here are a few pics I took on my phone:

Look at Ann's happy little face!
