I bought my home in the Couserans Pyrénées in 2004 and left the UK to live here full time. After 5 years of solo adventure I met Susie and her children Jasper and Ruby. We married in 2012 and spend our time walking in the mountains, looking after our chickens and sheep, transforming their wool and other fibres into woven, knitted and felted creations and growing/foraging for our food.
The weather is a little coller today for the first time in over a month, but still no rain. This fire is at Uchentein has been burning for 5-6 days and is still expanding despite the pompiers best efforts including helicopter and planes dropping water. It's on the other side of the Col de la Core to us, but we can see the smoke.
