It was when we went outside however that we began to realise how bad things were. The garden looked like it had been sprinkled with snow but in actual fact it was all covered with ash.
The sun was shining red through the smoke as it rose over the Hottentots Holland mountains as the fire was on the slopes just above Sir Lowry's Pass village. This evening the fire is still raging and it doesn't look like the fire crews are having much joy in their fight against it. Rain has been forecast for tomorrow night so hopefully that might put it out if the firefighters don't manage it.

Oh my- prayers for all!
