One of our neighbours visiting from wherever, asked my husband who was loading up some stuff to take to the council tip. She queried when the rubbish was taken and why they had left some of hers? Her question hung in the air... unspoken but very real for all that... ‘Would you take mine?’ The council she had seen take a photograph of her rubbish and leave it behind! Husband keeping well back thankfully didn’t pick up her request. <br /><br />LXLetticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251998081386015052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-56383106143169144142020-04-23T04:33:46.292+01:002020-04-23T04:33:46.292+01:00That's the important thing; to be sensible, an...That's the important thing; to be sensible, and respect all advice.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-90279967300679920402020-04-23T04:32:31.988+01:002020-04-23T04:32:31.988+01:00Off to the left is Haddock's Paddock, then a s...Off to the left is Haddock's Paddock, then a small path/track, then Haddock's.
