Poole Fireworks

A couple of weeks ago we went down to Poole Quay with some friends, had fish and chips and jumped onto one of the harbour tour boats. We sailed round Brownsea Island and stayed on the boat to see the fireworks

Studland

Julia and I went down to Sandbanks for a walk last night. In the end we caught the ferry across to Studland.



We went for a walk along the beach and stopped for a coffee



before heading back to the ferry and then heading home. Thursday nights are firework night so it was pretty busy both in terms of people turning up on foot as well as boats in the sea. In fact at one point it seemed like a whole armada of yachts turned up.

Guide Fireworks

, , , ...

Julia's taken the Guides on an end of term boat trip round Poole Harbour tonight, finishing up with watching the Poole fireworks. I had to got a Parish meeting so couldn't go along, but managed to just catch (hence the wobble in the photo below) them from our bedroom window with my long-lens (although I heard them long before I got a chance to see them)

Happy Birthday Mum

, , ,

It was my mum's birthday yesterday



so we all went out for a family meal in Tadley near my sister's.



The meal was great and afterwards we went to my sister's house, played a round of Uno and had tea and of course some birthday cake.



We then had some fireworks




followed by sparklers (or sprinklers as one of the kids called them) where the kids wrote messages in the dark





The last one there being "to infinity and beyond" :smile:

Village under attack!

I did wonder this evening if the neighbouring village to ours, Morden, had declared war on us as there were extremely loud bangs that sounded like mortars being fired that made the windows and garage door rattle. But it turned out it was our neighbours having a firework display.
