Fire at the farm

Well, Annie and I had just dropped the kids at school on Monday and we had a phone call that a fire was going hard on the conservancy.
After about six hours with 70men and Annie plus the tractor and plough we finally stopped it.
Not before about 2000acres or so of country was burnt out.
One of the magnificent houses came within seconds of being burnt. A good result from what could have been a disaster.
It burnt the full 16 hectares of the research farm site which I would not have done although in some ways will help in developing the site.
