He'd buy each year LOTS of fireworks for the neighbourhood and we all gathered in the park across the road for a bonfire -a wonderful community affair. One year my dad, who was in the army then, snuck an army flair away from camp and let that off during the fireworks. It created such a huge light that he became alarmed and (according to mum)went to hide inside..heheh<br /><br />Julie xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-59952076407114762692011-11-17T01:23:39.351+11:002011-11-17T01:23:39.351+11:00Definitely!
