This is just a quick post and an update on my previous one to tell you that Dunwich Heath has been on fire since yesterday afternoon. Many people have been evacuated and the fire service still have no idea when they will be able to get the blaze under control.
Below, I have added a link to the local BBC report.

I have been absent, yet again from WordPress for which I apologise. I had my operation on my finger last Thursday and will have the ten or eleven stitches out next Wednesday. I spent a week preparing for the operation, doing a number of chores around the house so that I wouldn’t worry too much about the mess, post-op. This hasn’t worked! Even though the wound is small I have been surprised at how much it has impacted on my life. I obviously use my middle finger more often than I thought I did!

I’ve seen the news reports and the destruction is awful. It is only three weeks after you shared lovely photos of your day there, and they are now just a memory. So very sad. Take care.

Thank you, Clive. We are all very sad and extremely concerned for the people who live in the area. The loss of wildlife will be extremely great; the poor creatures have very little chance of escape.

It’s terrible, isn’t it. I hope the locals can get through it unscathed, though it is sad to see the poor wildlife suffer.

I watched the News report this evening with some concern. Here’s hoping that the breeze died down and that the Emergency Services soon manage to get it under control. Hope you progress towards restored dexterity soon.

Thank you, Richard. Elinor has been giving us updates and told me a few minutes ago that the fire services say they are progressing well and that a number of fire engines are joining them from London. My dexterity will be restored once I get the stitches removed. Not that I look forward to that very much!
