    We are about five miles away from the fire so need to check our bug out bags too. We can see smoke and flames at night but fortunately the wind has changed so no longer have smoke and ash in the garden.

    Good grief. It never occurred to me that it would get as bad as this. Stay safe, all of you round there.

    We are 8 miles away from the wild fires on Saddleworth moor but it reeks of smoke here and my daughter tells me it's a strong smell in Manchester City Centre.

    We could smell it where I work, in Wigan.

    Bob - The smell here is getting stronger, the wind must have changed again.

    Mardatha - mmmm Eton mess. Haven't made it for ages, might just have to create my own tomorrow :)

    I saw a house on RM on monday, viewed yesterday with the vendor, offered this morning, increased in 3 steps and this afternoon my offer was accepted. I only saw this house by accident. Loved it, got that `calling me` zing

    Market town, bus is 5 min walk away, bus goes to 3 towns every 20 minutes. Shops a 10 minute walk away, doctors a 10 minute walk away. Fate or what, oh yes needs work ie cosmetic, new boiler etc 90 years old detached house with 1/3 acre of immaculate flat gardens the back garden used to be an allotment. Downstairs also has a shower/bathroom and a downstairs bedroom/study
