Ooooh! Aaaah! Wheee!

The upside of clocks going back is that it grew dark early enough for us to host a firework party with Family B before the children's bedtimes. Mr PP lit the fire-pit, which established a lovely warm blaze while we were eating dinner. So it was nice and warm when we headed outside for fireworks and toasting marshmallows. Son-in-law acted as MC and did a fab job, having chosen a quiet selection plus a few rockets and sparklers. 

I've found a way to get round my handshake and blurred photos: this is one frame extracted from a mini-video taken on my phone. Was pleased with how effectively it turned out. It was so nice to have fireworks actually on November 5th - in honour of Guy Fawkes, in the hope his ghost might return to parliament and finish the job he started! ;-)
