Fire, Fire!

Another disaster struck! On Monday after I had left the property, my husband and daughter were continuing to work.

Suddenly there was a spark, smoke and fire. For a long time we have been talking about fixing up the electrical wiring. I won't say who was going to do it - just one of the team - but as usual, time is our enemy.

Luckily there was someone there at the time and luckily too that we had a fire extinguisher there. There was a dramatic rush - and soon the fire extinguisher was doing its work and the fire was put out rather quickly.

What would have happened if no one was in the work room when it happened? No doubt the whole workroom, and adjoining stables would have burned, and maybe the cold room too.

So it was very fortunate! And now an electrician has been in to rewire the workroom, and soon we will be a little cash poorer, but a great deal safer.
