Bonfires

[Fatbee]

Consideration of others, only light fires in the evening.

Or on a wet day

And when the wind is blowing the right way, especially if you have a few old tyres to stick on.. lol

Brings back bad memories of when my old man set 500 tyres accidentally alight in our empty silage clamp - angle grinder sparks got in to the old railway sleepers and when he came back out after lunch there was a lot of black smoke! Could see it from ten miles and involved three fire engines. Quite a mess

Thanks for all the tips on bonfires in general....

I have enough leaves in the autumn to fill a shipping container. Giving them to the council isn't an option, I do make compost with some - The rest I burn. I don't have a problem with the smoke upsetting neighbours as there aren't any. I only have the bees to worry about... And my wife hanging clothes outside to dry.

And what's more evocative of autumn than the small of burning leaves... Mmmmm, lovely

I was working in a place like that today in Cwmdu, you don't know how lucky you are.

Which Cwmdu, Swarm?

 

[Swarm]

The one near Tretower Court. No mobile service, radio wouldn't work, a lane that just eventually went no further, stunning views.
Piece of useless information .... Singer and musician Labi Siffre lives (or lived) in Cwmdu.

Looks interesting, good are for a trip out. Good weather would be a bonus!

A mate of mine got warned by the council for having too many bonfires.

In the autumn I burn leaves. This time of the year there's normally nothing to burn- but the mother in law has just arrived. . . . . .

You'll be in trouble with more than the council if you're caught!

In Wales, what do you think cut the valleys??

A miracle more likely than sunny Easter weekend!

Glacial erosion.

I thought this was going to end up differently
