Like fools we turned up at Market Rasen Racecourse for 6pm and stood in the middle of a deserted field looking at a pile of pallets and general flammable material. After a warming drinking chocolate the bonfire was lit at 6.30 and we waited in the cold for another hour before the firework display began. What idiots!

So after waiting for one and a half hours we had twenty minutes of fireworks and then a brisk walk home to a warm house. We'll know better for next year.
