Well at last this week we had a few great days of sunshine. Windows were opened wide and we could sit out in the garden to relax after all the gardening.

But it was spoilt by not one but four bonfires in less than a week – two on the same day, one at 5pm and the other at 7pm.

Are they having a competition as to who can have the biggest smelliest bonfire?

For goodness’ sake, it’s summer – let us enjoy our gardens.

I type this letter in my very warm house because I’ve had to shut all doors and windows.

Please have some respect for the people around you. I strongly object to having my house stunk out and debris landing in my garden.

Yes, I do have a couple of bonfires a year but I do it in the winter months when it’s less annoying to my neighbours.
