Messing about on the river.
We are just outside Durham here, on the River Wear. A good place to take a canoe or paddle board for miles of fun on the water. Notice the smoke in the near distance as it creeps into this river area. The smoke created by a nearby wheat field going up in flames. At the moment it does not concern these children or the dog but it was to get worse.

Paddle boarding has become very popular nowadays, but it's good to see some people in canoes too.
Dangerous times at the moment with all the wild fires we're hearing and seeing on the news! I hope no one was injured or worse in this one!
Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:
Agreed there seems to be a lot of paddle boards about now and I would not mind having a go.
Many fires this year wit the forest in Scotland and morland all around me here but elsewhere in Britain too. - I don't think there were any real casualties with the fire (which I shall show later) but some rather exhausted firemen.
Keep sage and cool. Herb
