Funnies

Myself and my mate took my kids to see the Harry Potter end of season firework display in 2005.

As you know getting over the causeway was pretty dire that night, it was unexpectedly covered for a while. Whilst everyone else waited patiently for the waters to subside a "local" in her words, who knew the causeway like the back of her hand, decided that she knew the lay of the road and didn't need to wait for the waters to ebb away.

Needless to say, she decided to go over to Shell in her four wheel drive. She was actually quite obnoxious to my 11 year old when he had tried to explain what had happened and that the waters would go down soon.

I don't know who cheered loudest when her 4wd went off road and into the water fully, my son, me or the whole crowd. As good as the fireworks were, that is our abiding happy memory of that particular visit to Shell Island.
