Perhaps they didn't want to get too close in case they inadvertently ended up on the dinner table, well done. Or perhaps they're fed up of being chased? :)<BR/><BR/>Am very glad everyone is ok. And Ruby deserves lots of extra treats for quite a while. I remember the chimney on our house in Cork caught fire one New Years Eve. I seem to recall there being lots of whisky involved after the general tumult had died down a bit!l-q-shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777418826377589418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143707484157174122.post-21884056562465688352008-08-14T11:37:00.000+01:002008-08-14T11:37:00.000+01:00Hi SheepiesNice to see you haven't lost your colle...Hi Sheepies<BR/><BR/>Nice to see you haven't lost your collective sense of humour.

I thought the house was going to collapse!<BR/><BR/>I also helped to put out a barn fire up in the wild and wooly Scottish borders many years ago, literally 'form a chain and pass the bucket along' and then we sat drinking whiskey with the fire brigade for the rest of the night!Jon Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299901366453310075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143707484157174122.post-65650406962736628902008-08-13T10:37:00.000+01:002008-08-13T10:37:00.000+01:00Hi jj, yes, we are all fine thanks to Ruby's lassi...Hi <B>jj</B>, yes, we are all fine thanks to Ruby's lassie behaviour. And yes, we have been talking about getting the chimney swept since we moved in which feels like <I>almost</I> as good as getting it swept until it's on fire. Thanks for calling x<BR/><BR/>Hi there <B>pierre</B>, yes, all is is ok. The fire fighters didn't even need to get their hoses out, which is just as well as there is no mains water in the village which means putting out fires rather randomly depends upon the river being full, which often it isn't. Oh, the joys of country living,<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hey lovely <B>miss tickle</B>, all safe and sound, thanks to little Ruby and her sixth sense. Hugs to you :)<BR/><BR/>Hi there <B>liz</B>, yes, the professional crews are about 35 to 40 minutes away but a local village has a voluntary crew which. Apparently they were all sitting on their sofas watching TV when they got the call....Ms Melancholyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03348356658378052119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143707484157174122.post-29988775279347766132008-08-12T20:24:00.000+01:002008-08-12T20:24:00.000+01:00Glad you are ok and no-one (including Ruby) was in...Glad you are ok and no-one (including Ruby) was injured.Kahlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500615451909999365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143707484157174122.post-86934561936539174092008-08-11T16:42:00.001+01:002008-08-11T16:42:00.001+01:00My sister in laws house caught fire the very first...My sister in laws house caught fire the very first time they lit the log burner, it had seemed during the evening,but she got up to go to the loo during the night and could see a strange red glow downstairs, the glow came from the beam over the fireplace the stove had been incorrectly fitted,and the beam had caught fire from inside the chimney; scary.uphilldowndalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426833972060254592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143707484157174122.post-67976000887356255832008-08-11T16:42:00.000+01:002008-08-11T16:42:00.000+01:00Poor you!
