This is the blazing inferno at our village bonfire night party. The event is organised by a local group of pyromaniacs who annually build a bonfire the size of a small house and stage a fantastic fireworks display. Everyone throws some cash in a bucket (there's no fixed admission fee) as they enter the field which then pays for the next year's fireworks.
This year my husband took his camera and captured these photos which I thought deserved a place on my blog.
You can really feel the heat despite the substantial tape safety barrier on sticks which keeps spectators at a safe distance.
Once we've had the fun of the massive bonfire, the fireworks begin, accompanied by the usual gasps of amazement from the crowd.
Another event we've enjoyed this autumn was seeing Boot Led Zeppelin at the Boiler Room in Guildford. Our teenage son was keen to see them as part of his musical education and spent the entire evening right at the front studying the guitar techniques.
I never saw the real Led Zeppelin in concert, so I can't comment on how they would compare, but it was a fabulous night out. It's a fairly small venue so everyone is really close to the stage which adds to the atmosphere.
The music was great and you have to admire any man who will appear in public in what can only be described as a bright blue puff sleeved bolero with lavish silver embroidery!
