The neighbour’s burnt house is starting to be pulled down, and by them I think. They have a small excavator and I reckon that’s what they’re using. Not sure what the council will think about that though.

How did it burn down?

The youngest son – not exactly the bright candle on the cake – left his cheap e-cigarette/vape gadget charging on the bed. And so when it inevitably caught on fire it had plenty of fuel to get going quickly. That room is (was) the one at the far right end of the house, closest to the camera. They tried to stop it with a garden hose but not a bloody chance as they got there too late.
