Fireworks
Oh yes, it's definitely Autumn here in the UK. Cool, although not cold yet! Windy, wet and often miserable, worst month of the year sometimes. But there is always November the fifth, Bonfire night!! I will be remembering a dear friend who passed away in August. He was visually impaired and adored fireworks as they were one of the few things his poor eyes could see, the bigger and brighter the better for him. Tony, we will miss you and your happy face on Monday.
