Thanks for thinking of us.

It's right at the back of us,hopefully the wind does not turn:arghh:

 

Can smell it in the house.

 

Loads of emergency vehicles and choppers flying around.

 

The Gorge is a really serious fire risk.

 

Lea who posts in here is very near it too.

There was one up at Bridgewater yesterday too, came pretty close to some houses. Just a good reminder not to relax now the "main" part of summer has gone - it's still very dry out there....

 

Stay safe Tyke

Just like I should not let Big Al tell her I forgot to put a bet on the horse that came in 3:1 she'd picked - went out fishing and forgot.

 

Big Al will tell & I'm gonna get a THWACK! (hey a SiSu saying!)

No evidence here at all,further up the hill it will be a mess.

The pool was covered in a thin film of ash.

I'll have a drive by later on.

Expecting to see a little more wildlife down here from the National Park looking for food.
