The adults look on from a safe distance. . .
while the kids pick through the loot and select the most prestigious ones: "Fiery Balls of Fire from Dragons Breath" titles etc.
Our own resident pyromaniac instructs the children on care around fireworks. . .
while those who are less agile sit quietly and wait. . .
while pyromaniac begins the demonstration. .
slowly working closer and closer towards us with the lethal display. This is the catherine wheel attached LOOSELY to the nearby tree
while Jan and others look on. . .
and Helen and Wai watch from safe distance. . .
Here they are then . . .
you can just make out the shape of the manic fire starter who had lost it by then!

fun stuff! Is this a holiday of some sort?
Ha ha, Cheryl, the things we CELEBRATE ! No, it's not a holiday, but every 5th Nov is the night we celebrate a man called Guy Fawkes attempting to blow up the British Parliament way way back - a couple of centuries ago. In my childhood that meant making a Guy out of old clothes stuffed with newspaper and parading him around the streets in a wheelbarrow before putting him on top of a bonfire and setting fire to it! Then came the sausage sizzle and fireworks.
