Fireworks

Even as I type this I can hear the sounds of fireworks exploding in the night sky. New Year is never complete without the beautiful display of fireworks everywhere.

I've always had a special place in my heart for fireworks. As a child I was always enthralled by the loud fizzing sound it makes as it makes its journey into the sky before bursting into a huge balloon of colour together with a huge BOOM! The sparks from the fireworks fall back down and it almost feels as though you're going to be enveloped in a blanket of light. I love fireworks. One of my favourite memories involve my friends and I lighting a huge box of fireworks down by the pier. We were all laughing and running after each other, sparklers in our hands before settling down and watching the guys light up the big ones. I even tried lighting one up myself!

But fireworks make me feel a little sulpeun as well...

But I still love fireworks.

So happy.

So festive.

So romantic!

And most of all, so memorable.
