They are just so noisy and they frighten the lives out of my dogs. Here in Spain they are let off at weddings and other fiestas and the church lets them off during Lent and they do so during the day which quite honestly I cannot see the point of, they're just bangs with nothing pretty to see.<br />I agree that fireworks should only be available at organised firework displays, that's hopefully safer and a one off so you don't have them going off for weeks on end.<br />xSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-36011452517801928432019-11-08T18:02:55.569+00:002019-11-08T18:02:55.569+00:00I think Zak and Toby will need about 500 pennies e...I think Zak and Toby will need about 500 pennies each just to get into a public display and probably another 1000 pennies to get Mrs. Mum - or perhaps Mr Dad - in with them.<br /> jenannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321001863688006661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-10071918024067899842019-11-07T19:55:50.748+00:002019-11-07T19:55:50.748+00:00It was a big deal to wave those sparklers around :...It was a big deal to wave those sparklers around :) <br />You know those boys too well !

Only the naughty kids played with those noisy firecrackers.

It's a shame that traditions fall by the wayside, however, once these things get in the hands of children they become dangerous. A boy put one in my friends pocket when he was young and it burnt his leq so bad he's been left with a big scar in his thigh.<br /><br />I did enjoy your story though Dee, it was delightful. :)<br />Big hugs,<br />XXanaduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811340443530378970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-35771549734879489622019-11-05T09:52:38.040+00:002019-11-05T09:52:38.040+00:00As an ex nurse I have seen first hand what firewor...As an ex nurse I have seen first hand what fireworks can do when handled irresponsibly so it is one of those traditions that I think should fall by the wayside....although I do think that Guy Fawkes would be handy at the moment to sort out the current Brexit fiasco :)SimplySashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126669877303283136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863721388345667033.post-46846504082077573492019-11-05T09:43:13.879+00:002019-11-05T09:43:13.879+00:00Loved this.
