Bonfire night...the retraction

Amazing scenes from MK

OK so you guys listened to me rant about how much I did not like fireworks displays on the 5th November.
However, the boyfriend, you know the old ball and chain...totally wrong image he is the light of my life, erm basically took me to Milton Keynes to see the organised fireworks display on Sunday. It is the larget privately organised display in the UK and cost up to 3 million pounds to stage.

When I got there it was like being at a cattle drive, everyone going one way but not actually getting anywhere. Following the herd came to mind but when we got to the perfect location, amongst the muddy bog that was the field (it wasn't that bad).


The crisp chill in the air made for a lovely change to the frost bitten weather we have been having and there was no breeze making the smoke trails left behind from each firework create a fantastic magical spider  web of smokey haze.

FINALLY at 7:30pm on the dot, the fireworks began and ignoring the slight musical hitch where the music did not kick in for a couple of seconds, the display was amazing. Never before had I seen such a well timed display. With each song that followed on from the first the firework fit in with every element of the music whether it be the lyrics or the melodic tones it provided.

The first song was rule the world by Take That, it was awesome. Songs also included were Teenage dreams by Katy Perry and New York by..oh god I will have to look that up...

Sparklers were banned...but this was pretty

By the end I was wondering why I did not like such displays, then it came time to leave. We all formed a sacrificial mass all heading to the ONE way out - a tiny little bridge, probably not meant to hold all this weight. Getting to the bridge was tricky. NO joke I spent twenty minutes being pushed, prodded and poked trying to get to the exit. I can't say that part of the night was fun but it was rather amusing watching people walk ten minutes through a hedge maze only to find there was no way out and having to come straight back again.

My face for the entire night was one full of wonderment and awe, I had never seen a display so perfectly executed and I am anticipating and looking forward to the New Year fireworks in London, Bring on 2011!

By the way...20,000 words out of 50,000 minimum for NaNoWriMo..YAY:
