smoke from bonfire

wish we were allowed have bonfires here, would be so much easier

We don't normally like having bonfires and we had intended to take everything to the council amenity site. However, when faced with the amount of rubbish we were clearing and realising the distance we would have to cart it in bins (we also have 6 steps up into our garage) we decided there must be an easier way. Much of the foliage was weeds that we wouldn't want to compost. We lit up at 10.30 pm and rekindled it next night, too. So there wasn't too much disturbance to visitors in the park behind.

def much more easier when you are clearing such a large space

I dont mind Bonfires they remind me of my Childhood when my Dad would burn his Garden Rubbish,But a few wks ago A family who lives 4doors up from me had a Bon-fire going 4 FOUR DAYS on the Trot :O It got 2much as we wanted 2 hang out washing but it was`nt suitable 2do so,There are Rules here2which say when u can&cant have Bon-fires in UK Eileen :)

The guidelines from our council are that you are "reasonable" -
* none of your neighbours have a line full of washing
* there’s very little wind
* it isn’t a day when your neighbours will wish to sit in their gardens or have windows open
* all the material is dry and will burn quickly
* you do so very rarely
