Great vid. Here's a thing.When we were children, (75 years ago) every year for about five or six years, we used to have a Guy Fawkes bonfire in the corner of the City playground.We scavenged everywhere for stuff to burn, and made a real effort.We also made a guy which we took around, particularly in the Market place on market days and outside the Regal cinema pestering people in the queue "Penny for the guy". Money collected went towards our firework display He was ceremoniously placed high up on the top of the bonfire on Nov 5th and the bonfire lit. What's your point I hear you asking. Well in the opening scene if you look in the left hand corner, even after all these years, the scar of the burning is still there. A bit like a horseshoe but that's our mark which will probably outlast me. Glad you caught it though.

My husband was sat in our garden at Remembrance road yesterday and heard and saw a drone. Perhaps that was you? Like the video clip.

@@christinapike7969 No that was not me. I would like to take off around there as I did live just down your road many years ago. And thank you for liking. I hope to get all around Newbury and Thatcham before it changes too much.
