Life is Burning...

.... or it was this morning. The only way to deal with steep banks of long grass in Switzerland, is to burn it off before the end of February. After that it is no longer allowed. (The house is not burning down!)

Whilst I am not going up in the mountains (it seems that I have thrombosis in my calf, never mind the state of my "good" knee cartilage) the garden is going to get early attention this year. After watching the documentary about Andrew Marr and his stroke last night, I have nothing to complain about!
