The sun also rises

It's sunny and it's and insect bonanza out there at the moment. This seemed the perfect time then to load a dozen bags of garden rubbish into the car and head off to the recycling centre.

Driving a mobile compost heap is no fun. The smell is something else even with the windows down and there's always the worry something is going to ooze when you least expect it.

Good job the recycling centre is just down the road. Or at least it used to be. Pulling up I noted that the gates were the only thing left! Luckily a man in a flourescent vest was idly standing around and pointed to where the new recycling centre was. Appropriately it was mostly the old one that had been reused and simply transplanted.

There's a skip for everything and the one for garden waste already looked like a experimental RHS garden.

Hurled my clippings and cuttings into the skip and am looking forward to spending the rest of the summer cleaning escaped clippings out of the boot. I took a Christmas tree home in it a few years ago and I'm STILL finding needles but, to be fair, the car is still pine fresh as a result.
