Spring Is In The Air

Hamish : we saw more muirburn on the way for a quick lunch. S was telling me about when she was little. She would watch the heather burning on Countisbury Hill as she lay in bed. She said she used to worry about all the little animals that might live on the hill and if they would escape, her big brother was a fireman. He was often called out to heather fires that had got out of control. He said that the fire would appear to be out but then burn underground and erupt in a different place.
