Community Fireworks

FireworksLast night we travelled all of about 10 metres to the now annual bonfire party at our next door neighbours. Now that they live here full time and are not just weekend visitors, the bonfire party seems to be growing in stature with more and more members of the local community coming together for an evening of food and fireworks. Last night was probably the largest gathering so far and as usual the fireworks were good (although anna and I aren’t that keen on fireworks oursleves). It goes without saying that the food and company was top notch too.

One thing has changed though, in the early years of this event most attendees were either staying with Dave and Sarah (the hosts) or didn’t have children so the event used to go on until the early hours with people drinking and chatting around the fire. Now that most of the people their have children things tailed off pretty quickly after the fireworks were over at about 8pm. We headed home soon after as well in order to get Morgan off to bed, but I’m sure a few people hung around to help the hosts finish of the alcohol! I doubt they sat around the for too long though as not long after we left it started pouring with rain.

All in all a good night that helps bring the community together and it seems as though most of them enjoy it as there are now plans for an Ynyslas Community Christmas party.
