After an hour or more, the fire brigade were satisfied that it was properly out. Nothing more to say, really.

Fear of the tank exploding kept us at a safe distance, and now that the fire had taken hold of the trees and grass, we had concerns that the dry fields were going to be consumed as well.

We noticed smoke from the engine, at about the same time that a warning light came on the dash, and almost instantly, everything failed. It was quickly apparent that no amount of effort was going to get the fire under control, especially as we could not open the bonnet as it was already buckling because of the heat. I cannot believe that even at this stage, I thought that the items in the boot might be salvageable once the flames were put out. At this point, the tyres had both blown, and I think the windows were shattering.

We got a pellet stove delivered to help us survive the last straggling days of winter.

Tar being created, by the road on which it is being laid. Carried on shoulders in large metal buckets, and poured by hand, it certainly is hot and dirty work.

The charcoal remnants of an old statue of Christ, after an altar caught fire from a falling candle. We found this to be a particularly evocative image, now housed in the National Gallery of Art, Tegucigalpa.
