Temperatures of over forty degrees and high, gusting winds coming over from Africa seemed a real risk factor for fires here today.

I love hot but this was painful. Poor Clio only managed half of her walk before gasping for breath.

Around lunchtime I smelled fire............it turned out to be the wood yard down the road. Three fire engines turned up and I was set to wondering if I needed to collect some belongings................I decided on passports and bank cards but should I have time I´d pick up my jewellery box. Such as it´s worth!

What would you choose?

To be serious for a moment. All wasn´t quite so good in the Island of La Gomera. Villas on fire and firefighters were being ferried from all the other Islands. I trust no lives are lost.
