I am the God of Hellfire

I bring you FIRE. A really BIG fire.

Today we went on the South Downs Bus Walk Number 7. I love Bus Walks.

Just as we stepped into the countryside, and released the happy sigh of Lemon Jelly fields, a big black cloud filled the sky. It was amazing. Black swirling plumes gathered, dispersed eastwards, and a shadow fell across the land. Pollution can dance. The formation was stunning.

"I love the Bus Walks on this side of town", I said, "It's wonderful to be free from the drone of traffic". Our backs turned from the ominous sky, as the bridle path took us upward. A sheep cried out and, one by one, several fire engines joined the chorus.

Today, the countryside was beautiful and the sun glorious. As my neck gently roasted, a tractor and trailer of hay said goodbye to the world. The fire was in the next valley, and the farm just out of visual range.

While the smoke hailed sailors lost at sea, nearer to home perhaps someone was cursing that dropped cigarette.

I hope everyone at the farm is okay. Thanks for the show.

Fabpants Recommends: It’s definitely a Lemon Jelly weekend, with picnics on Hove Lawns and rather jolly strolls in the English countryside.

Earlier today, I bought tickets for five gigs. WOO HOO. More on those and some summer gig reviews coming soon. Now, it's time for ice-cream and people watching on the promenade. Wish you were here...
