I had just put Lil to bed when someone played loudly on the door bell and woke her up. I was not best pleased to put it mildly. It was the next door neighbor in a panic, there was black smoke issuing from the house opposite and someone screaming. I got Malcolm and he rushed over to help. A car was on fire so he got it out onto the drive but the lady wouldn't leave the garage she wanted to clean up before the fire brigade arrived. With the help of a passing motorist they got the fire out. The children were home ill and thought it all very exciting.
