Fireworks...

How celebrations for Guy Fawkes night have changed since I were a wee nipper!! Gone are the wheelbarrows and calls of “penny for the Guy!” Gone are the potatoes baking in the embers of the bonfire (which has carefully been checked for hibernating hedgehogs). They’ve been replaced with glow-in-the-dark flashing toys, loud music and lots of fireworks (to which only my dog seems impervious!). Not that I’m complaining; I love fireworks...but would rather hear said fireworks than loud brash music!!
