Yes, fireworks were a key

Posted on Tue, 24 Sep 2024

Yes, fireworks were a key highlight for me too. And running around with sparklers but so scared of that hot metal. I was a '70s kid so a bit later - we had indoor fireworks too as a pre-show before the big ones outside. My dad more than anyone...
