Fire across the fields!

Sunday 29th October 2023                (backblip)

I have also backblipped Saturday's Surprise ..... hope you will have a look .... thanks to those who already have :-)

The garden was covered with tiny bits of black this morning..... something had been burning but couldn't see anything around though we could smell smoke.

Found the answer on our walk "up the road" this afternoon!

We could see the fire & large volume of smoke across the fields ...... we could smell it too!

Apparently it was a large stack of hay bales .... approx 14,000 that had gone up in flames! The whole sky was just a pall of thick smoke. It had been burning since the early hours & was about 5 or 6 miles from us 'as the crow flies'.

This was the view across the fields ... hope it gives some idea of the scale!

Stay safe everyone :-)
