We have been saving material for a bonfire since the start of the year and today with our hay removed from the field and the wind a mere light breeze (as close to calm as it gets up here) we decided it was time to burn. It was amazing how quickly a mass of dry weeds and hedge pruning disappeared. The Christmas tree provided a particularly brief but spectacular display. It began to gently spit with rain which just added to the perfect conditions, helping make sure nothing ignited by accident. Amongst the things to go on the pyre where my huge woody parsnips and after several hours in the embers their smell was most tempting!
