Fireworks at Chinon

Last night we went up to Chinon to watch their Bastille Day Fireworks...  It was standing room only by the time it had gone dark.

What a show it was, with the fortress as a backdrop and a launch site and a stunning display of lighting and pyrotechnics from both sides of the river.

It was the first time I have managed to take photographs of fireworks, using the small Canon SX500IS on firework setting... They do however not do the display justice...

Well worth a visit next year...

Birthday update... Elizabeth and Jane have spent today (Jane's Birthday) at the Naturaspa in La RochePosay. (I am sure it will feature here in due course.)  They both had a very enjoyable day being body wrapped... whatever that is!!!

Tomorrow is the BIG one 60 60 60 oh la la...
