There are a few nights of the year sent to test you as a parent, and fireworks night is definitely one of them.
As a kid in the ’80s it was great – big blazing bonfires to which you could get close enough to need a completely new set of eyebrows in the morning, sparklers tracing out your name in the darkness and plenty of whizz-pops and bang-clatters to make a great evening out. Not to mention plenty of hot food and hand-warming drinks.
5th November 2019 on the other hand – not so great.
