"Well I had a monster party on Saturday" writes Lee. "Unbelievably good in fact, with a big back garden fireworks display at 10.00PM to start it off. I must say, the star of the show was a rather impressive looking Golden Lion fan cake with large bores, it had no name except "Next Generation" on it, it was about £50, although I paid a bit less. It was fabulous, the shell bursts filling the sky with a horizontal line of exploding reports, which changed to crackly stars. A real sky filler and a brilliant finale. That was the best cake I've ever let off. The golden croissette was good, it sent up shells which burst into a trail of four lines, forming a cross, silver in colour. Some didn't quite get there, but most did. I was expecting a bit more from the coloured palms (all Golden Lion still), the bursts were a bit thin. Someone just happened to bring a SIB 1 along, it was quite good really, but like the Battle Of The Cyborgs I had, could have been improved upon by using other fireworks at the same time. Other excellent fireworks were Green Bamboo, two of these would be amazing, Star Bombards, Imperial Salute etc. It really was a great display. You must try that fan cake though!"
