Fiona's Quiet Life

Small socks belong­ing to a three year old take a dis­pro­por­tion­ate amount of time to hang on a wash­ing line, i sup­pose it is the same with a dish­washer, i love it when the things in it are big and empty­ing it is so much quicker. …..a wash­ing bas­ket full of the clothes of a three year old and a five year old takes forever to hang on the line………..no Nic­ola i am not com­plain­ing ‚it was nice to be in the garden doing it and listen­ing to the next door puppy yipping.

yes­ter­days visit to the land­fill / recyc­ling plant was fas­cin­at­ing i am amazed at what is done and how won­der­fully clean it was……..it was called Hills and is some­where in Wilt­shir www.hills-group.co.uk/ , …….a bus load of school chil­dren came and we gave them a tour, i was ‘offi­cial’ pho­to­grapher in my high vis­ib­il­ity jacket. over a hun­dred pho­tos ……and i am pleased with most of them which is unusual for me.
i highly recom­mend a visit to your local recyc­ling plant if they allow vis­it­ors. we learnt all about the dif­fer­ent things that can and can­not be recycled and that plastic will never bio­de­grade.
i could go on about it for hours………….old fur­niture made into wood chips, plant waste into beau­ti­ful com­post in 12 weeks……….no food stuff allowed in it not even orange peel because of foot and mouth but they are look­ing into safe ways to com­post food waste…………it is in case the com­post is spread on ground that cows may graze off.
no envel­opes in waste paper because those with win­dows mess up the pulp­ing pro­cess.
you can tell i had fun.
