Our farmer neighbour is looking ahead, well ahead, because he says this pile of conifer wood and brash is all ready for the Guy Fawkes celebrations on November 5.
The wood and brash all came from a neighbours somewhat overgrown garden and it's been piled up to take advantage of the prevailing winds to give the heap a hand with the drying out process, at the moment it stands about twelve feet high too. No doubt some extra accelerant of some sort will be added to assist in the combustion process but in terms of planning he's well ahead of the game. He is intending to add more scrap wood and old fencing to the heap too, I think that there's a bit of a pyrotechnic engineer somewhere in there.
I think that people in Ely, Cambridge and Newmarket will be able to see it when it goes up and just for reference purposes here's one he prepared a few years ago as it was dying down.
