COB HOUSE

Hi ya
If you are wondering what a cob house is....it is a house of cob of course.
Cob is a type of clay like mud, people make bricks out of it, and then they put straw with it and then they spread smooth clay on that so it covers all of it. 
When it is dry it can take on rain, wind, sand storms and other things. This is one that you can use for toys, because I don't have enough mud to make a real one! 






Here are some real cob   houses...

Not all cob houses are the same!



alright time to go... hope you liked my post.

See you soon , Charlie

FIRE!!!!!

Hello everyone !

A few days ago there was a fire,
don't worry I was fine because it was a controlled fire and it was sooo cool!
I took come pics of it to...








We went for a walk later in the afternoon, and there was still burning hot pieces of logs on fire, and they were still smokey, and there was fire underneath the ash making it glow. I thought it was Very Cool! I got to talk to one of the firemen inspecting the fires, and told him about the burning 'embers'. New word, Mum told me...

They have to burn off the dry leaves and branches so we don't have an accidental bushfire, which could be Very Dangerous! Now we are safe. Ahhhhhh :)

bye bye
