November 5th - not my favourite night of the year. You see, I hate fireworks!
Even as a small child I was frightened of fireworks. I'd sit in the house with my Mum while Dad and my sister enjoyed watching and setting off fireworks. I don't mind the bonfire part of Bonfire Night and obviously the food is fab - jacket potatoes, toffee apples, parkin, what's not to love? But the fireworks - no thanks!
I 'manned-up' later when my son was born and took him to firework parties but I still cringed at the loud bangs. It became a bit of a family joke - 'Oh look, there's Johanne with her fingers in her ears jumping with fright at the fireworks!'
So tonight I'll be hoping it all goes off quickly and wishing I could hide under the table with my cat, Bonnie!
I don't mind fireworks but the loud bangs make me blink uncontrollably which is realy annoying!
