Fireworks

On our first visit to Budgens, the supermarket in Broadway, Jonathan spied something very exciting - a cabinet filled with fireworks. For years, he has wanted to buy his own fireworks and have his own display. The only place you can buy them in Australia is in Canberra. He has be plotting how he could get himself to Canberra on his own to buy them. He even made plans with his friend Ezra, to catch a bus down there and return in a day one school holiday. Not that I gave him much encouragement.

Here we are at Broadway and he could pay to buy a box of fireworks! I have never seen him or Keith look so excited as they plotted and planned. Yesterday they took themselves off to buy some and much to their delight discovered they could buy one box and get another for free - what a bargain!

Last night, off we went with torches to the field down the lane to set them off. My aunt thought it was a hoot and we laughed so much watching these "lads" having fun with one of their boxes of fireworks. They were quite good and some made lots of noise which echoed across Broadway. According to Jonathan, it was worth every pence spent. We still have a second box to go.
