As the drought continues around here fires are breaking out. Not helped by
the hot but breezy weather. A large patch of grassland had been destroyed on
my walk this afternoon on some local marshland. A grass fire in Great
Wakering burnt down two houses. I suspect the Australians would find that
odd considering what they have to put up with. A bit like the Scandinavians
with our difficulty in dealing with snow I suppose.
