I heard it on my way back from the shops, and when I got home my husband was shouting at the boys :"Have you been playing with matches again?" No, it would seem not, as the smell of burning was most definitely outside the house.
Hope no one got hurt.

I was reading very recently that the inhabitants of Abingdon had nothing to do.
Seems exciting enough to me.
And Tescos to wit.
