Well these two are well protected ... Hang on to these umbrellas, and enjoy your walk.

Somewhere around the Worcestershire Beacon, Malvern Hills, Great Malvern, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom. Date unknown, likely to be in the Summer, circa 1985 to circa 1995.
About this photograph.
Those three guys are British firefighters on an emergency call-out to fight a wildfire on the Malvern Hills.
Only one side of a single hill was on fire, it was not an extreme inferno, but simply a very large patch of fire coving almost half of one side of the slope, and the weather was hot, but not a heatwave.
The Country of Hereford and Worcester Fire Brigade were on a call-out to go up the hills, and attempt to fight the fire. They had managed to get the fire under control, while many people were still hiking and walking all over the hills.
Here, you see the firefighters wearing the late 20th century uniform long before they were replaced with a more modern ones.
Notice that in the photo, you can see the helmet did not have a protector visor, because in the old days, helmet designs were very much like that, before the more modern with visors started.
The photo shows two of the firefighters listening to the other one, likely to be discussing the matter.
The photographs were taken with a Minolta X-700 35mm SLR film camera, possibly with a 28-200mm zoom lens, and either a Kodak or Agfa colour film.
I am unable to remember the date, let alone the year, as I have lost my notes, but I know it had to be sometime between 1985 to 1995, during the summer. This is because 1985 is the year I got my X-700 and 1996 is the year I moved to a new home (explained below).
About the event.
At that time, I lived with my parent in a top floor apartment, with a view to the Worcestershire Beacon, thus if there was a fire on the hills, I would see smoke. This is when I decided to grab my camera and head up to the hills to try some photojournalism-style photography.
In those days, health and safety rules were a bit lax, there were people still going for walks up and down the hills even when the firefighters were trying to get the fire under control.
There weren’t any police officers trying to get people off the hills, and the civilians were simply going for a walk, this was why I was able to freely move around and try to take some shots of the firefighters.
The colour shots were sent off for developing and printing, as I only develop and print black and white myself.
About 30 years later, the prints were scanned to the computer, using a Brother A3 multi-function printer/copier/scanner/fax machine, so I could upload them to my Flickr Photostream.

About this photograph.
This is a British firefighter on an emergency call-out to fight a wildfire on the Malvern Hills. He is seen in the photograph climbing up a slope and through some small trees, while carrying a hose to reach an area of small fire farther uphill.

Ian, Ray and myself found this graffiti on our way to Liverpool Chinatown for the 2018 Chinese New Year event.
I wonder how the heck Ian knew in advance, how to dress so appropriately for this particular occasion?
[Cue spooky music.]
Our daughter in Bicester had a decorator in today, doing high vapour painting, so she and the girls came to us instead of us going there. It gave me some extra time to get started on the next magazine - after this month's rush, I needed a head start, especially as we'll be away for a few days.
It was quite tiring for us all, as the weather wasn't suitable for us to go out at all, but we enjoyed doing games, painting, Play-doh etc. Tea wasn't a huge success, but they'll survive!
I hadn't done much 'official' exercise, so went for a walk in the drizzly dusk, and it was good to get some fresh air.
But he's not a builder, he's a pro photographer who'd been out in the dinghy photographing Cunard's "Queen Victoria" @ New Quay, adjacent to Liverpool's Pier Head

Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.

Mike went off to Swindon this morning, to get his eyes checked for glaucoma. All was well - no signs of it. He'd been referred after an eye test, and his grandmother had glaucoma, and his brother has it, so it was good to get it checked.
I cycled into Bibury, in the cold and the wind (and a little bit of sunshine). Then I started work on the magazine, now that my eyes can cope a bit better with computer work.
This afternoon we walked into the village to see someone about the planned Coronation Picnic next month - Mike's helping with posters. I dropped off a book at the telephone kiosk book swap too.
Right, must get on with the cottage pie for tea - we need something warming! 😆

Mike was at Harnhill this morning, preparing for a meeting there on Saturday - he'll be helping with the AV. I cycled over to the coffee morning and shop at Southrop - and the Post Office, where I deposited the jacket I'm returning. It was lovely to chat with the Southrop folk - always interesting and enjoyable conversations. I was pleased to be able to stop for a pic of the bluebells on the way home, too.
After lunch, I decided to go to some more shops to get a waterproof jacket for the summer. I was planning to go to Swindon if necessary, but fortunately it wasn't! I got a nice Craghoppers jacket in the sale in Regatta in Cirencester, so I hope it'll do OK - it was certainly comfortable when I wore it to ride to Fairford later, to drop a prescription off for someone.
