It has been an odd one hasn’t it? With the start of the Year being very cold and rain … well, what can I say – another hosepipe ban must be in the offing. We have been incredibly busy all year and unusually so. We began the year with the Chinese New Year celebrations and [...]

Hello! When people talk about “family” fireworks, they might think of small selection boxes, a few sparklers in the back garden, and a few wizz pop rockets.

If I ever hear the 1812 overture as a backdrop to fireworks, I’ll strangle someone. Not really, of course, but come on folks, we can do so much better. And stuff like “The Battle” from Gladiator is great, but to use it ever year (Garstang, I’m looking at you) gets a touch samey! So here are four [...]

With Bonfire Night fast approaching, there are two main areas for consideration. The first of course being fireworks and the second is delicious and warming food which will take you back to being a child yourself.
