Fireworks in the sky and my heart
For the last eight years I have been involved in a local firework display each November. Now this is serious stuff,the four of us that put it on have all been on two day training courses, the display is about twelve minutes long set to music and fired electronically and the cost of the fireworks is usually about two and a half grand.
Last year I did the timings and firing order,and after several years absence we managed to get two 8" Shells, these are huge about the size of your head and weigh about 7.5kg. fused to go together on the last beat of the music.
At the firing point you don't really see anything because you are directly underneath, these big b****ers launched and lit up the sky on cue they lasted about 20 seconds. We actually got to see them because they were so massive and all we could hear was the applause from the audience three hundred metres away. Beautiful moment Number 1.

We made safe and walked on down to the pub where the spectators were,and the woman I had been seeing for a few weeks was waiting, she gave me a massive hug and nearly kissed my face off, then whispered "I love you" Beautiful moment 2

I would put photos if I knew how
