Where do you put your rubbish?We are fortunate that we do not have bins!
In next doors bin ...
In plastic bags - black for 'rubbish' and see-through blue ones for recyclables. We have to put glass into one of the communal skips provided in the towns and some villages.
The bag colours are collected from outside the front gates on alternate weeks. We can put out two black ones but any amount of the blue ones.
Up at the bungalow, we do put the bags into a shed as they await their turn to be put out.
Every week we can put out our little food waste bin for collection or we can use our own compost bins to break it all down and reuse eventually.
Our only problem it keep the bags safe from the corvids and foxes as they sit out awaiting their collection chariot - everyone devises their own method - we have constructed a wire cage to put over the bags. The 'waste disposal officers' just lift the cage, take the bags out and then put the cage back down. If it is windy, we peg it down.

Not really. The big plus is that we do not have to store all the wheelie bins and boxes that some people have to use. We provided the black ones, the council provides the blue ones. When we get our new calendar for the beginning of the year , my husband marks the Tuesdays in black or blue pen - keeps him amused! He is noted by other villagers as being the person who is always right on the Tuesday colour.That all sounds very complicated

I am now almost fully assembled for the great vehicle wash experiments, the only thing missing is the snow foam.
try not to wash in the sun it will leave water marks and will be a pain to remove
I think that is about the one thing I have learned about car washing.
Here, we have beautiful soft, WELSH water but I still wouldn't risk it!Once I am assembled I will take a 'before' photo for your perusal and after completion, if I am still in a fit state, I will do an 'after' one.

I'll sort thems in a bit - too hot and every time I tidy stuff away in the garage the bit i need is always underneath everything and requires me to unpack it all again.
That sounds like my clearing up efforts!
