Ollie goes to the fireworks and more.
Took Ollie to the annual Firework display this evening at Pingle Field. Thought about taking Jamie too but he's still a bit little to take without the push chair and besides he was ready for bed so just the two of us went. "Wow!" - shouted Ollie - about 50 times! All in all, another good effort, very similar to last year's in fact. The event has improved a lot from year to year after some cock ups in the past. Like the year all the fireworks got let off at the same time, or more recently, when they couldn't get the bonfire lit! Anyway, these events are important to the town so well done to all those involved. Good value at £3 to get in. The only thing I thought was slightly odd was that although the firework display was excellent most of the big guns came out early and the way it ended was most odd. There had been an accompanying soundtrack but this finished before the fireworks leaving the last couple of minutes in silence, plus rather than a grand final...
