Today's blog comes to you live from the hamlet of Piccotts End in Hertfordshire, England, where preparations for tonight's community fireworks party are in full swing. My task is to assemble a selection of rockets and roman candles suitable for an audience of 70 adults and children. Tonight's display will be choreographed to music for the first time, an eclectic mix of night club and Star Wars. The firework I'm most looking forward to seeing and hearing is The Scream, a specially commissioned pyrotechnic work of art which owes much to Edvard Munch. Somehow the fireworks always look and feel more exciting in your own back garden. With hot soup, hot dogs and pork and apple rolls this is a traditional English winterfest. Long may it last.
While all this is going oin down south, the real action of the day is up at Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire. Here our senior team led by Steve and Dave are setting up tonight's annual Halloween spectacular. So far it looks like being a dry day. Fingers crossed.
