Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

I had one more photograph from my birthday holiday that I wanted to share, but I don't really have a story to go with it, other than to say that I cannot watch a fireworks display without actually crying with utter joy and delight. Fireworks reduce me to blubbering tears of overwhelmed awe, and I'm not afraid to admit it. This one took place over a lake, which added to the excitement because (a) there was a very clear view in front of us of everything was going on and (b) it terrified the living shit out of the swans and ducks, which spent the first two minutes of the display taking off and landing over and over again before hiding underneath the trees and possibly dying of fright.

Which is exactly what you want of a fireworks disply, I think you'll agree.
