There's a large detached house on the way up to Broadstone which is advertising honey at £9 per jar. There are several local houses and Bungalows that were built in the 50's / 60's that have very long back gardens and keep bees.

The lady who keeps bees in our village charges £8/jar. It's absolutely delicious.

MrsP Just sent me to the attic to get the dreaded Christmas decorations down. There were ten boxes full of things.
I would quite happily bin 90% of the stuff.
Humbug I tell ye, Humbug.

My most hateful task of the year. I drag the stuff down and "Her Indoors" always says " you"left a lot of items up there and when I ask whats missing ? and to name the items she says " well er ...I KNOW theres more up there. Every year she buys more christmas junk to clutter the place with . I put a dehumidifier up there for a night or two to stop dampness when the christmas junk is out of it. phew!!!

Next OU assignment submitted a month early. I now have a bit of a cushion in case either Mrs D or I should be ill, and I can take a week away from the books over Crimbo without risk of falling behind. Schweet!

clever move

As for bins - the counsel here has a decent website where you can check what is being collected this week
you can also download a chart with everything marked

at the moment they are no longer collecting green bins until February or March but as it is all easy to access it is not too confusing

We have or had, the same, but, recently they have taken to issue the chart. for only 3 months at a time. I used to print the chart on one A4 sheet, at beginning of the year, but, now, it requires 4 sheets of A4 to do the same. No big deal in terms of cost, but, a bit of a waste in environmental terms.

Evening folks well that was good...sent an old friend a gift and it was really liked! I always find gift buying problematic as i dont want to foist my own tastes/likes etc Anyhow the recipient used to be my employer when i was a gardener, we stayed in touch and she payed all my vets fees for my dog-Murphy when i was skint [still am] I will pay her back when im able and its quite a considerable amount, but for now i send tokens of appreciation. These dried flowers looked nice/stylish/pretty and importantly for me affordable!
