Re: Fireworks
Yes, you are right it was a season of anticipation...all the stuff you mention I remember with fondness, because it WAS a community event.
The letting off of fireworks though was a one night only thing(which I guess increased the anticipation and the enjoyment).
alas it is not like that now.
Mums aren't going from house to house finding out who is making what...parched peas, spud pie, treacle toffee,parkin. It was a smoky veritable feast for all the senses.
