I'm shortly driving up into the Dales for a spot of camping with Tilley. I tried last year and it worked great until someone parked up next to us and had their own fireworks display. The second spot worked great until the display at Bolton Abbey went off. So this time I really driving into the Dales to hide.
We tried drugs and a big fresh new bone to tire her out, but that only worked after the fireworks when she is sooo tired from baking, drugs and eating.
All my other dogs just slept through it and the fireworks in Denmark, the UK has nothing on it. Maybe a lifting of the head when the neighbour set off his homemade cannon. Best way to describe it is "mental come war" and that is just the weeks leading up to new years eve. In my 20 years here the only time I have seen a new year on par with what I saw in Denmark, was when I was down on the Thames in that there London and that only lasted 20+min. The law has changed in DK so now you can only get it a few weeks before and you are only allowed to let it off for three(I think) days around new years eve. As soon as the crimbo display went up in the shops you could get fireworks. Which I think only leads to a more mental new years eve. Because it use to be against the law get and let of fireworks throughout the year, so we took "revenge" when we could get it. People use to smuggle in from Germany and Sweden and/or make their own (puts hand up with a guilty smile). So with making it harder and against the law ... my advice is to wear your fireproof underwear if you find yourself in DK on the 31st of Dec.
