    It is quite a distance from us though it made me sad as it is a beautiful area that we visit often.

    Quite true - however, nature has its own way of restoring itself.

    Sad destruction though.

    Our hosepipe is in situ as we live near woods.

    Hope Whippy's family are ok I think they live in that area.

    I am so pleased Whippy.

    Today we stopped for a drink in Uppermill and drove back through Stalybridge.

    The firefighters have a tough job they are hero's.

    Luckily that side of the Moor was smoke free.

    It got dense as we drove back to Bury via Mossley,Stalybridge and Ashton.

    I think it was. I work in haydock and the smell was the same there as it was in Southport when I returned home.

    We smelt it as well, not very pleasant.

    I Just hope the wind does not change Eastwards.

    Blowing out to sea must be the best option.
