World Firework Championships

For the past few years, Blackpool has hosted the world firework championships and even though I've never been a big fireworks fan - I really do like watching the big displays.

Last weekend the German team started the championships off with a fantastic display and tonight was the turn of the Scottish team.

It had been raining all day and we expected the display to be cancelled but luckily the rain stopped for about an hour - just long enough for the firework display.

Because it had been so wet I was not really looking forward to going, but I'm glad we did - it was amazing.

Music is provided by Rock FM and standing on the seafront watching the fireworks shoot off the pier into the air is good fun. I'm looking forward to next week's display.
