Oh, my.......

Oh my, dear souls, for 'tis warm, oh my it is. Dear old Blighty is ablaze with sunshine and, sadly, we are also seeing what the Australians would term "bush fires" on the moors of the north. Saddleworth has been ablaze for days and the poor people living in the surrounding area are suffering. Stirling efforts by the Firefighters and armed forces can be seen on a daily basis across the media to keep things contained. Sadly, the reportings are nearly always accompanied by stories of foolish people happy to literally inflame the situation. Take heart dear souls of the north for we are with you in spirit, if not physically, and can only hope for an early end to it for you.

The land is dry and parched, with the sanctuary garden showing great patches of brown lawns. One cannot remember when it last rained, and the water butt levels are lowering. Why, fair reminds me of summers of my childhood spent strawberry and black currant picking to earn a penny or two.
