Last night was our annual trip to a local bonfire display. It is my husband’s highlight of the year – he loves bonfire night – the getting wrapped up warm, going out in the dark, the smell of the bonfire. I suppose I could take it or leave it but I am always glad we make the effort to go.
Last year at our local event there was a fair but we hadn’t realised and didn’t have much money with us so, this year, we went prepared with lots of money and our very excited girls! Typically, the fair wasn’t as good with only one ride. The girls didn’t seem to mind though and we still managed to spend lots of money on stalls, coming home with lots more toys!
The bonfire we go to has a really nice feel to it, it is quite small, full of locals but with music and a nice atmosphere. There was a huge bonfire and some amazing fireworks which Harri loved (Meme decided this year she didn’t like them!). We stayed for as long as we could, watching the fireworks light up the sky before our feet turned into blocks of ice so we hurried home for a chippy tea and a good warm up.
How was your bonfire night?

Oh this looks like a lovely evening despite the lack of fair rides! We didn’t go to a display this year, there wasn’t one on around here at a time that would suit our girls strangely. I do feel like we missed out, will make more of an effort next year!

Wow that firework photo is brilliant, I love watching fireworks
Thank you for linking up
Fab photos! It looks like you had a fantastic evening x
The glow stick photo is gorgeous! I’m so envious of all the bonfire night photos – our company end of year event was on the 5th, but we did see some lovely fireworks as we were driving to it x
That’s a great firework capture, they are so hard to get that well.
Popping back and taking another look at that glow stick picture. Amazing effect, Meme looks totally circled in green. Was that from one of the stalls? A lovely looking evening with plenty to keep you going with happy bonfire memories till next year.
Thank you for joining me for #CountryKids
Beautiful pics of your girls as always. This year I sent those that wanted to go to our local bonfire night and I stayed at home in the warm watching a film. Yay for me!
That firework photo is amazing! I love bonfire night and its definitely a big part of my childhood memories. My husband could take it or leave it too. x #theordinarymoments
Sounds fabulous. My kids never went when we lived in London. I must take them one day but maybe when they are a little older. Great photos x #livingarrows
Noticed when linking up to Living Arrows that my post has the same title as yours! Have that rhyme going round my head at the moment. What a great firework capture! And beautiful pics of your girls too. The event we went to was supposed to have rides but now I think about it, we didn’t see any (probably a good thing!).

Fab photos! We went to the big display in Swansea for the first time this year, and we all loved it luckily! x #LivingArrows
Ah it looks like a lovely night and I love that first photo. We love bonfire night although we didn’t actually get to a display this year as were all a bit tired from our holiday in Florida. xx
Love your photos. The glow stick one is cool. We never make it to any displays unless the school does one #livingarows
Ah lovely pics, Joe was like this but ear defenders solved the problem, one he couldn’t hear them he was happy x
It looks like you had a lovely evening – gorgeous photos. You can’t beat fireworks season, such a feel good time x
It looks like you had a fantastic time. Great firework photo at the start xx #countrykids
Great photos! There was too much smoke where we stood so I couldn’t get any decent shots 🙁

I love bonfire night. Unfortunately my eldest still hates the noise. With our youngest being just 5 months we did not go to a display this year. We could see our local display from our house though. I ended up watching them on my own though!

We’re big fan on bonfire night too! Poppy’s birthday is on the 4th of November so we now have an extra reason to celebrate every year. You’ve got some beautiful captured moments here, thanks for linking up xx
I love your photo of Meme with her glowstick – she looks very proud of herself, too!
I love Bonfire night too, much more so than Halloween (maybe because it reminds me of my childhood!).
Glad you had a good time, all wrapped up warm. And great photos of the fireworks.
