I've never really been too keen on bonfire night and hate it more as I get older. When I was a kid fireworks were only on sale up to the close of business on November 5th, once a shop closed for the day that was it. You never heard any after the night itself and fireworks at New Year were unheard of, now it seems that any occasion is an excuse to let them off :( Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671225480721447118.post-31084696593674310622021-11-07T17:34:48.678+00:002021-11-07T17:34:48.678+00:00One night of fireworks is just about tolerable but...One night of fireworks is just about tolerable but these days they last for several weeks and then there is Christmas and New Year and also birthdays etc. What was once special and good to look forward to, is now something I no longer want!

During the local big festival here fireworks are let off constantly throughout the three days! My cat used to hide in our wardrobe under Sr P's jumpers as soon as he would hear the first whoosh of a rocket going off and would only come out for a bite to eat and scamper back into his hiding place again. Every year the same procedure. Keep well.

We never used to be able to buy the bigger ones but now itβs harder to buy the small traditional ones. Also there seem to be more displays that rock the whole town β¦ spaced out over several nights so they donβt clash with each other. Now I do love fireworks but they do seem to go on from before Halloween right up to New Year now πCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755023281455689775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671225480721447118.post-30025159802998959252021-11-06T07:01:47.557+00:002021-11-06T07:01:47.557+00:00Poor Moss.

Fireworks are not allowed here in Oz, except for New Year's Eve and only managed by local government to be displayed as an event. The fun we had as kid's on different "bonfire" occasions was great & I feel the children today who don't have near as much "magical" moments as we did are missing out on a lot.
