I looked out of the window and thought it was a strange time of the evening to have a fog bank so far inland. Silly me. So I followed the smoke:
That'll be an oops then.

Oh! Is the Stornoway Gazette still in print? That's news.
DeleteThat's an oops that caught your attention!
ReplyDeleteIt did indeed Red.
DeleteOoops. Around here I would guess it was fog too.
ReplyDeleteTerra I would have expected the fog to have been in a different direction.
DeleteYou satisfied your curiosity...there is no "Oops" required! :)
ReplyDeleteThe 'Oops' Lee was rather a reference to the person who caused the fire.
DeleteFire fail for sure. And a pretty public one, too. It would be visible for miles around, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteMany miles Pauline.
DeleteHooray for zooming lenses!
ReplyDeleteI hope nobody (animal or person) came to harm.
Meike I'm assured there was no harm to man nor beast.
DeleteA pile of packing cases were being burnt. The grass and heather caught fire too. The fence then caught fire........
ReplyDeleteThe fire brigade were phoned and arrived within minutes and put the fire out. Excellent service indeed.
Thanks Pat. I should have phoned you first but I wrote the post at 11pm! Thanks for the information.
DeleteImpressive zooming! (I assume?)
ReplyDeleteOr you azoom?
DeleteYou azoom correctly Monica.
DeleteOne can usually smell the bushfires here before we are blanketed in smoke. Any idea what your neighbour was burning?
ReplyDeleteCarol he was burning old packing cases but the grass and heather caught fire. We had had warm dry weather for a while.
DeleteFires are always a concern for me. Having lived through a bushfire.. the smell of smoke and that eerie haze in the sky ... I get too alarmed for my own good. Glad to read everything turned out OK.
ReplyDeleteLynda I cannot imagine what living through a bushfire must be like. Fire out of control is one of the worst of disasters.
DeleteGlad no serious harm was done.
ReplyDeleteSome folks here love to burn stuff as well, seems to be some fascination with flames and smoke and danger. I've written several posts about their folly on my blog.
Yes, Virginia, I remembered your last post when I wrote this.
