Day 168
05 November 2009
In the summer, there was fireworks every Saturday night, for the benefit of the tourists, courtesy of the carnival committe. We loved heading up to the downs or off to the beach for the fireworks, along with a glass of wine, and a blanket.
Now that it's Guy Fawkes night, there are no local fireworks displays, no bonfire night. Just a few home-based parties. I think there are a few displays in Wareham, or Poole, but Swanage doesn't have anything nowadays. When I was growing up here, there were a few displays, and fireworks displays really were just on the one night of the year.
There was talk of a display, paid for by contributions from all the first school PA's, but it didn't come off due to health and safety issues. Isn't that always the way?!
Earlier today I went to Norden Farm to have a look around, as I'd never been there before. It was quiet as the campsite is closed, but there was lots to look at, and my son enjoyed looking at everything!
