I always feel sorry for the animals at times like this. Bonfire night (Guy Fawkes) in the UK or more accurately the weekend before or after and then really right up to Christmas there always seems to be fireworks around.
They keep saying they are going to stop private people buying the really big and IMHO dangerous ones that have no business in being let off in our small gardens but somehow people still seem to get hold of them.
I love big public displays but private ones because of our space restrictions I think should only be small fireworks like roman candles, spinning wheels etc.
