What do you do with them when you have finshed with them and you are outside in the 'wild' so to speak?
Well I walked back to where the car was parked carrying the thing with the aluminuim tray back in the cardboard underbox in the mistaken belief that it would protect my hands from the warm charcoal embers.
Not a bit, the embers started to glow again mainly from the action of the wind and the card underbox began to smolder too. Smolder then flames! Rubbed them out on the grass downland and carried on walking.
Only to repeat the action another hundred metres further on, and then again another hundred or so metres further on.
This with dry downland hillside all around us and the farmers bringing in the hay. Managed to get to the base of the hill, but the cardboard now had half gone....burnt away.
So there was only one thing for it, we pissed on it. It was so hot that all the piss evaporated and I could safely put it in the boot of the car.
Bit silly afterwards because we drove to Dorchester Abbey for a mug of tea and a cake from the good womenfolk of the town(?) and parked up for a good forty minutes...the car could have gone up in flames!
