The wind was freezing cold, but it was relatively dry and the bonfire took off on the first attempt and with no effort!
With the bonfire, thinsulate gloves, double socks and wool coat I didn't feel the cold anymore. The kids came and warmed their fingers and toes by the fire, whenever they weren't playing or hiding in the shed.
Blackberry branches were added
The bonfire kept going right until I put it out with water, sometimes only showing a thick smoke from the wet or semi fresh weeds and grass.
Only one accident, thankfully, I accidentally threw my son's glove on the fire when I was trying to stop a fight between him and his little sister over some leaves...
I did do a little trimming too, once I managed to get the girls out of the shed to supervise the bonfire.
The path that was trimmed, seen from the top.
The pile of brambles is gone (it was put on the other pile as it was burning)
That rusty sheet was put on the manure to prevent the tarpaulin from blowing off again.

Pathetically little done... The battery seemed to go dead quickly today.
