What better place to celebrate the English tradition of
gunpowder treason and plot than the local fire station? Sure; there's no
historical connection; but at least we’ll be safe while listening to subliminal
messages about checking smoke alarms (which I still haven't done). We decided
not to be cheap and support the cause by paying to go in for the best views and
atmosphere. The display was excellent; though we couldn't get a glimpse of the
fire until the very end owing to the crowds and how far away it was from the
safety barrier. There was some excellent music to accompany them; and though we
couldn't see the Catherine wheel at the start; they'd gone to the great effort of
timing their show to the tunes. The climax was a bit low; we thought they could
have done a grander display; but all in all it was a very enjoyable evening.
