Pyromania

A day of frantic work - George, clearing weeds and ivy from around the well:

... and then a bonfire. I felt, given the excessive heat, that this was a mistake, but up until yesterday it had obviously been raining in France as much as in England (witness the stunning growth of grass and weeds since our last visit) so most of the grass was green and damp, and not at risk from stray sparks. Despite this we had a hose on hand to contain the surrounding area, (no hose pipe bans here - just metered water).

And to round off the 30-degrees-in-the-shade experience, we ended the day with a barbecue.
