Whenever someone walks behind us Finlay will stop to see if there is a dog who he can say hello to. We have to wait for them to catch us up.
You can see how dry the grass is - there are signs everywhere for people not to have BBQs or fires. The temperatures yesterday were so high there were many grass fires from London up to Yorkshire. Homes were destroyed and many people made homeless. It is shocking to see this extreme weather and fires in the UK.
Last night was unbearable - the house upstairs was like an oven and sleep was impossible. This morning it is cloudy and much cooler with a breeze blowing - heaven!!
Guard Finlay! There was a big grass fire in the next field to where The Young Fella works yesterday. Lots of fire trucks were there and it was put out thankfully, but the crop is gone and the perimeter trees all scorched. Only a few miles further down the road, homes were burned and destroyed caught between two grass fires. A difficult day indeed. Looking forward to when the house bricks catch up with the cooler temperatures. Still too hot inside but it will come down in time. Like you, hoping for sleep soon!
Wow, Pam, that's quite a news story! In California, we know the devastation the fires cause, the stress it puts on the fire departments (some of which come from far distances to assist), and the desperation of people! I'm SO sorry you've had to deal with that there.
