Five years ago, we arrived in Pontypool on October 31st. Then a few days later we heard fireworks and ran to the back window of our flat and saw them going off from Pontypool Park. We had no idea why we were seeing fireworks, but we sure did enjoy it! Then one year, we had our dog Skip... we took him outside during the fireworks and let me just tell you that I have never in my life seen an animal act the way he did. He went ballistic and starting clawing at the concrete, we could barely hold on to him. When we got him home we realized he was bleeding. We looked closer at his paws and realized that he had broken every single one of his claws off his two back paws!!! Crazy dog! So, we've had a few memorable Guy Fawkes Night's around here!
This year, we didn't get any fireworks or build a bonfire, but we did go see some fireworks this past Saturday night at Caerphilly Castle. We got all bundled up and took the girls out to the castle! I was a bit worried about Cerys' reaction to the fireworks, but she did great. We talked it up real big all day and even showed her a video of fireworks so she could hear how loud they would be. Bailey was not too sure at first, but she soon got into it and started saying "boom boom" and "ahhhh" so I think she enjoyed them too!
Here are a few pictures from our Guy Fawkes fireworks this weekend:
And totally not related, I am about finished with that quirky poncho I was knitting! I have a few finishing touches to do and then maybe, just maybe, I will show you. And also not related, we will be in Dallas in a little over a week!!!!

ok, so this has nothing to do with this post, but just wanted you to know that we have been keeping up with coal house...we have been watching it on BBC over here too!!....i can't imagine trying to cook on that stove!....next time i see you, i need to tell you about the reality show we had over here a few years ago that we loved. it was called Cabin Fever. a group sailed around the country and at each port contestants who didn't get enough support had to "walk the plank". we were addicted to that one, too.
