Well, I won’t be posting anything tonight after all. Not because of poor footage. Our central heating packed in this afternoon, expansion vessel has stopped pressurising apparently. We have hot water … just not in any of the radiators. Been trying to fix it whilst on the phone to a plumber. No joy. Fortunately it’s not freezing tonight. Gutted though, missed the main fireworks display … and that I’m gonna have to fork out a shed load of spondoolies to get the heating fixed 
I’d love to get out there and give it a go, there’s loud bangs and flashes of light close by. Also 37kg of trembling Rottweiler sat firmly on my foot and anchoring me to the spot.
So no pictures from me:(

Poor Dogzilla mate, hopefully they won’t carry on all night. 🥲
I made the mistake of telling my wife there was a display on nearby at Frampton tonight, she thought I was inviting her out and I don’t have the heart to take the drone instead

Honestly, this taking photos at night is harder than it looks … this is my attempt last night to capture the literally 100s of fireworks being let off … if you look really closely, you should be able to make out the one I managed to get!!!
Not sure I’ll do any better this weekend, so this is my entry

I’m a wuss…
I just paranoid of a rocket firework (A version of an Exocet missile) getting my mini 2 in the first 10 seconds of take off!
I just made a comment like that on FB where someone flew through the cloud of sparks. BALLS of STEEL.
My view was there were too many ground to air missiles around.
Spent 15 minutes trying to video a 360 around the town but this must have been the worst year for fireworks, never known it so quiet. This is the only one I captured.

I have taken several shots following an ‘eventful’ firework display this evening over here.
I am sure I have taken better ‘more traditional’ shots this evening, but I love this one, as to me it looks like Megatron under attack by a flying white horse
