Sparkler

We've had this packet of sparklers for years, since before we moved to this house.  Having failed to get tickets for the bonfire at Bolton Abbey we decided to have a go with them in the garden.

Had a nightmare trying to get them lit (only managed one before we went back in!) - it probably doesn't help that our matches are ancient and the wood on them didn't seem to want to burn!  Not our night.  Must buy new matches tomorrow...

Moon in the extra - it was a lovely colour when it came up out of the cloud
