Last year I spent bonfire night in Huddersfield and boy did I miss my family and our annual firework display in my nana and grandad's garden. I was absolutely gutted that I wasn't spending this holiday with them, which is why, I made sure that I got the next train home as soon as the weekend started. The entire weekend has been full of festivities with us also celebrating my grandad's birthday and wedding anniversary to my nana on Saturday. There was no better way to celebrate than a feast in Pizza Hut and of course, chocolate birthday cake.

Tonight ensured that this fantastic weekend spent with my family went out with a bang (literally). I am absolutely gutted that it is over. Even more so because I have to be back at university on Tuesday and also have deadlines creeping up. 

The night was filled with dazzling lights, delicious food and lots of smiles and laughter. Once we had gotten through all of our fireworks, we then went back inside for a cup of tea and even more food as my nana had baked us some quiche, carrot cake and lemon drizzle cake. It was very much needed after all the excitement (and from being stood outside in the freezing cold), but the night wasn't quite over as myself, my little sister, my brother and his friend headed into town to watch their annual fireworks display. I went a couple of years ago with some friends from school, but definitely enjoyed this time around more as I was surrounded with my family, which is definitely when I am most happiest.

The display was absolutely magical. I couldn't take my eyes off it for more than a few seconds. I don't know what it is about fireworks but they have a way of filling my heart with so much joy. It's hard to capture how dazzling the lights actually were and how they made me feel when I watched them, but I'm sure you can all relate to some extent. However, I must admit, I am very grateful to be snuggled up in the warmth of my house now. I am definitely not ready for this cold weather that is started to emerge.
