Happy Birthday to Richard.

What a wonderful day we had.

A bit of excitement - too close for comfort

We had a bit of excitement the other day with a little fire over the road on a windy day.  Luckily the fire brigade turned up quickly and put it out.

Plenty of smoke from the fire, being such a windy day it could have spread quite quickly.

Fire Brigade arrived to check out the fire.

Getting organised to put the fire out.

A second fire engine turned up to give assistance
