Two years ago Maisie Roe (now 6 years old) was badly burned on Bonfire night, November 5 by an ordinary garden firework. Since this awful event Stephanie, her mother, has been very keen to raise awareness of the dangers of having fireworks at home and is asking parents to take their children to organised displays.

Whilst the weather is getting colder, a BBQ might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But if you got the right tools you could be tucking into the ultimate winter feast. With a firm believe that BBQ’s are not just for summertime, local Devon outdoor Experts BigFire Ltd say their KADAI Indian fire-pit is a top notch winter companion.
