Fire!

Well, we decided after much discussion to "control burn" the small copse behind the barn (it's just brambles and stuff and totally blocks the view from the back) rather than cut it all back cos it was taking ages. Dave decided to start it using petrol (he's such a bloke) and did a small test on a pile of dry stuff we had in another pile. Using probably enough petrol to run my car for a week. "Don't worry Kate, it never goes up like in films you know" WHOOOMPF. Oh yes it does. Just like "Backdraft" in fact. Luckily, he only singed his hair and eyebrows a bit. Just enough for us all to poke fun for the whole day! Ha!

Another window hole appears - yay!
