Post Script

So, if you haven't read the blog before this one you might one to do that first. I wrote it a little too soon. An hour into our "quiet" afternoon, another fire came pouring over the hill behind our house (right behind) and we spent another couple of hours lighting other fires to try and save our newly thatched tukul and tent. Once again, we were blessed, but this one left me shaky. Our compound is now surrounded by charred earth on three sides.
