Today we have been to Barnham to visit Dave's Mother.
Alfie and Dave had a large bonfire in the garden to get rid of the garden rubbish left by the gardener. I was not very popular because I mentioned the greenhouse effect and how it was not very neighbourly to have a bonfire on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in spring when people might be enjoying their gardens or hanging out washing! Oh dear.....
PS None of my photos at the moment as I need new batteries for my camera.

Having been cast in the role of ecological terrorist, maybe I should comment. I think Cheryl is a bit of a townie at heart and doesn't really get the concept of the rural bonfire.
Also, if we are going down this road, I think that we need to examine our practice of toasting our toes in front of our coal/log fire on an evening!!
Ah, but what you do behind closed doors is something quite different. If you're being an ecological terrorist indoors, no one else knows about it! Do BBQ's fall into the same category as bonfires?
But Kathryn, you forget the tell-tale finger of doom that is the chimney, pointing at the ozone layer and all the time belching smoke to reveal our guilty secret!
As for BBQ's, they are clearly entirely blameless, innocenlty orducing a stream of delightfully singed meat products!
Therefore, it follows that you should combine the two to reduce the effects on the ozone layer. It's simple. Burn a sausage in the fireplace.
If you are going to be ecological and caring about the environment then you all really ought to start with your cars.
*G*
Kathryn, I think that you have cracked it. If only Al Gore had sat at home cremating pig based products, a lot of jetting round the world trying to save the planet could have been avoided!
Lost Star. Good thinking. I will go outside and set fire to them immediately. I mat even chuck on a couple of sausages.
Ketchup or onions?????
I think that part-exchanging cars is more ecologically sound than burning them. Therefore, to buy a new car is ecologically friendly as it means another car is recycled. The more cards are made, the more are recycled. Let's make more cars.
Hmm... I think we may be getting into an ecologically grey area here. Whilst I appreciate the force of the recycling argument, I think that we would be unwise to overlook the benefits of setting fire to them first. Burning cars emit a great deal of particulate matter in the form of black smoke particularly from the tyres. The black smoke blots out the sun cutting out harmful rays and thereby reducing global warming.
Perhaps we should set fire to them and recycle whats left?
The perfect solution. Perhaps I should put that idea forward to the local Ford dealer whom I have just asked for a part-exchange value. Do you think it might influence their appraisal of the situation?
