Coming hot on the heels of the Village Idiot Season is the Barbecue Season where the whole of the village starts up with their old and battered, some new and lovely, barbecue systems. The teeniest, tiniest hint of warm air and they're all out in their droves throwing fuel on the coals and creating that infernal stink of hot fuel which always precedes the smell of cooking. I'm surprised there are not more accidents as those lazy souls in this village won't start their barbecue properly therby not infesting the air with their stink. Cooking food is not a horrible smell you understand but that stink of fuel is!!! Add to that, clouds and clouds of dense billowing white and grey smoke which you cannot get away from, and you start to get the picture. Our house backs onto and is surrounded by other properties all with their barbecues out, it's like living in a smog infestsed city centre. Those of us who like to breathe FRESH air can go whistle as far as the BS is upon u. Trying to breathe with all your windows and doors shut against these infernal stinkmeisters is not appealing or conducive to breathing in the hot summer months. Yes it does happen every night, it is ongoing as one ends another one starts up. Once the stink of fuel is in the house it is impossible to remove as if you're not quick enough to smell it happening before it hits the house you've had it. What a lovely village to live in eh? I can highly recommend it if you like VI and BS!
