Bristol City council has just laid on yet another fantastic evening of fireworks, syncronised perfectly to music at the annual harbour festival. Every time we thought the display had reached its final climax yet more explosions of massive fireworks were set off. The only disappointing part of the event was the weather - heavy drizzle throughout the day put quite a dampner on the festivities, and standing on the docks at 10pm waiting for the fireworks to begin there was a definite chill in the air. It felt more like a 5th of November display than a mid-summer festival and here-in lies the problem with planning firework events in England as compared to elsewhere in the world.
Australia and New Zealand put on loads of outdoor festivals every year - how lucky they are to never have to worry about the rain...!
