Just as I was recording my admission of failure yesterday I began to hear some loud bangs and pops. It turns out that these were from fireworks, mostly from the major firework display here in Ipswich ( http://www.ipswichfireworks.co.uk/ ) which takes place about two miles away. I grabbed my camera and walked down the road a little so I could get a better view.

It’s traditional to celebrate the 5th of November with fireworks and bonfires, organized displays often take place on the nearest saturday evening.
