Youths Start Fire at 6am

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011 by Hilspills

Whilst out walking my dogs this morning in the big field next to the farmhouse, 3 youths approx 18-20 yrs old appeared from the path between the orchard and the moat, and then walked down the track a couple of metres and started a fire! The 3 chaps then walked off from the way they came.

I jogged back across the field to try and catch up with them and to maybe attempt to stamp the fire out. By the time I got there the flames were 4ft high and a large sleeper-like piece of wood was on fire.

The fire brigade were called, and arrived shortly to extinguish the fire.

I assume that they used petrol or similiar to get the wood to burn so quickly.

I wonder if these group of lads had been out all night as not many youths I know would be up at 6am in the morning.

Did anyone else see these 3 lads walking around this morning?

What will they set fire to next?

Travellers… Gob-Smacked!

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011 by Hilspills

This evening (10th August) I was out walking my dogs at approx 9PM.  I saw the travellers who are there now entering the land where they have been several times before (I’m sure you’ll see them in the morning)!

What has left me speechless is that I saw a police car follow approx’ 5 of them into the estate, pull up to where the mound of earth is and then basically watch them enter (including watching them move a concrete barrier even further out the way) and then when they were all nicely in  – drove off!

Words fail me!

Travellers?

Friday, April 1st, 2011 by Hilspills

The last few evenings there have been a couple of people on horses riding around the large field behind the orchard and near the farm house.

I didn’t think too much of this until last night when there was also a chap on a horse and cart who seemed to be sizing up the field, and managed to get onto it in his cart!

If this is Travellers planning to move onto this land what can be done to prevent it?
