One Bonfire Night that we had at my place, John and I decided to show our kids (they must have been two and three) some fireworks. We went and bought all these fizzy ones. We'd smoked a lot of herbalized stuff so we didn't want anything really loud. We were doing this whole set up and sitting around, relaxing a little and we went outside to give the babies this big show and everything we bought just exploded! Exploded! What the kids must have thought, I don't know because the grown-ups were going 'Ow! Ow! Aaaagh!' We were so shocked we had to go back inside. And that's what makes our children what they are today.
'Cynics will say that shelves all over the world are already collapsing with the weight of Beatles books … But Postcards From The Boys will delight Fab Four connoisseurs and send writers scurrying to revise their biographies.' Sunday Times Magazine |
