What a great evening we had too ! The funfair and firework display was smashing but a little crowded. Jim and I bumped into Kerry with 3 friends just before they went on a ride called `HELL`S CREATION`. At first it didn`t look very scary to me as it whizzed round and round, fast but not furious( see pic. 2, Kerry on the inside of the ride with her pal). Then the ride operator shouts out` Who wants to go faster?Well of course, then it speeded up and the cars, instead of just going round and round, now started to go up and down as well. They flew round in a blur after that so when they finally got off they were walking like a pair of drunks ! After that we left them to go round the fair and us oldies went in search of coffee and doughnuts and then onto the firework ground to watch the display. It was lovely with all the whizzes and bangs and beautiful colours. Most of the time Jim had his camera pointed up at the sky so he gave himself neck ache to get the photos ! To improve the atmosphere for the youngsters there, the local radio station Star FM was there playing all sorts of thumping music to accompany the fireworks ! It was quite effective and it got the feet tapping which stopped them getting cold while we watched ! It was raining which is why there are spots all over the photos. But at the end of the evening we went off home as the younger people were still arriving to enjoy the fairground that was only there for the one night. We have been going there since our children we very small and we will be going back again next year.

Glad you had a good time Sandra. It was not fun around here, it was more a nightmare. Just got back from another drive out, I managed to call in at a little local nursery where I bought a couple of "Mums". The person in front was buying (with his two small children) the most enormous fireworks you have ever seen. The man said, this will last ages and rock the neighbourhood. It beggars belief. People just have no consideration but I have nothing against organised displays. I never did like scary rides even when young. Hated being whizzed around. xxxx
wonderful photos Sandra! love the fireworks!
