Fireworks on the Links

It was the annual fireworks display on the Links tonight, and it was the first time for both Tom and I.  Steve and Sam are old hands, but it was always a bit too late for Tom before.  The boys an d I were very excited and the excitement didn't dim even though the walk was longer than anticipated! We found a good spot and didn't have to wait too long before the oooohs and aaaahhhs began...

... it was very very very cold, and the walk back to the car was less fun than the walk there!  But the boys were the proud owners of light up swords (I know, I know!  But at least we escaped without having to go to the funfair as well!!)  which made it more bearable.  It was a fantastic spectacle - "awesome" was the first word out of Tom's mouth as the sky exploded - the night was clear, the wind was minimal and it was all put on free of charge by the council!
