Notes

This weekend the weather fire rating scale has been Extreme. it has been hot and windy. The storm last night has given us very little rain - but lightening strikes have caused fires round us. The river has formed a large pond on the sea side of the bridge. it has big clumps of yucky vegetation floating in it. the river is still flowing into the sea although holiday makers are constantly trying to dam it.
