Over the last 10 days there has been a lot going on. Never have we been so pleased to see the Mistral (wind)which has dried out our soggy land. It also brings clear skies and dry cold air although of late temperatures are getting up to a Spring like 16 degrees.
Like the shops here when you can only buy things where they are in season you can only have a bonfire within certain dates, again largely due to historic wind patterns and dry periods. This weekend sees the end of the winter period and fires are embargoed until April 15th. So we decided to burn a lot of the debris that our dear builders have left, palates, tile cartons and the wooden crate that housed our pool cover measuring 6 metres by 1 which everyone on site had been using as there rubbish bin. When we lit the fire there was no wind and with in half an hour the wind whipped up and in a matter of minutes there was little left.
