used to love it we`d have an orginised one yearly but it stopped years ago like the colourful displays but hate the random bangers/ rockets that get tossed about the streets terrifying pets.

Yes, how things have changed Kenny kenster1

Agree about bangers and pets.

For some strange reason, it brings happy memories of my dad, yet I can't think why, very odd.

Do you remember the smog the following day? the good old days, I think not!

[kenster1 Volunteer in reply to chloe40]

yes some of the fires still lit as well. the next street to us usually have a fire in the field not sure if they have this year.

Hello Chloe I used to love the sparklers but was always afraid to go close I like the twinkly sky I saw tonight lovely reds I took this but it's too noisey now, I remember our cats always hiding in the gas cuboard or wardrobes my pixiebob is ok snug with me, we used to have hot dog sasages and onions and jacket potatoes but I have slight asthma so stay in doors now I wish they'd ban the bangers I'd say have a peaceful night but don't think we can haha 💚🌟😹🌷

I meant to add Hidden

I always wanted the hot dogs, onions and sausages, but we didn't have that, I always envied those that did

I have asthma too!

Hi Twink,

What a great idea, I will certainly do that😊

Totally agree with the irritants that cause us many breathing difficulties, it’s very hard to avoid at times.

Sorry to read about your friends mam, you’re a good friend being there for her.

I can understand your worries about your own mum😘

[Hidden in reply to chloe40]
