Does "Burning Things" Count As A Hobby?

[poliphilo]

Matthew has been told to stop burning things on the property he shares so he's been bringing his truckloads of chopped up tree here and I've been burning them for him.

Yesterday's bonfire is still smouldering this morning.

Before it was prohibited, we could burn all the fallen leaves in our garden in the street in great piles by the curb. I would rake them up just to be able to have the fire. They stopped that when I was a young adult but the smell of burning leaves is still one of my favourites and an instant memory jog from my childhood. On Saturdays you could see the fires all up and down our street as that was the day everybody raked leaves.

I was mostly burning wood. And that's what the garden smells of now.
