On fire

What a spectacular day!

Little Dog was due a longer walk so today, we spent time meandering up and down the moors. But first, we walked through the fields chatting to a lovely man I’ve seen out and about before but not talked too; pleasant company.

Spotting smoke drifting over us (and finding the draw of fire too great to walk the other way) we went in search of the heather burning and did a rather large circuit around to avoid the central goings on and CJ sneezing.  It was the chap I see on his quad bike and he gave me a wave as I stopped to take a few photos. 

He seemed to know what he was doing.  One moment it was in flames, the next it was all out and he'd move on to burn another patch.
