First bonfire of many ...

There are branches from coconut trees lying around everywhere but everything is wet. I lay a stacj out on the front of the house to hopefully dry out a bit. With piles of damp grass to burn I am going to need anything dry I can lay my hands on just to get a fire going.
I get stuck into the back garden after an early lunch and light up the first of many bonfires. I clear quite a bit of long grass but it is slow going. The humidity is really draining and I cant keep going for longer than an hour. It rains on and off all afternoon but the fire keeps smoldering away until we head for bed about 20:00. The fire sends clouds of thick smoke over the neighbours gardens but there isnot much I can do about that.
