Hi,
@Colin I'm a bit puzzled. Are you saying that you took the contents of your composting bins down the tip?
Yes I did Bootsy. The contents went into the green skip at the tip to be composted by the council.
With the amount of rain and wind we suffer here on the valley side I wish I had never bought the bins; this morning has been rare sunshine and so far I've not been watered by Blackie; on Friday I was so fed up of all the rain I was up the mountain planting four Aubretia in pouring rain getting yet another soaking; I got a soaking just visiting the garden centre to buy the Aubretia so in order to plant four Aubretia I suffered two soakings; I'm absolutely sick of this dire climate; when I filled the compost bins I had to place large stones on their lid in order to keep the lid on also because of the cone shape the bins were lifting from the ground being buffeted by the wind; this terrible climate torments me on a daily basis. Everything as usual was soaking wet outside this morning. I've just rushed around to wash the Yeti and clean it out because no doubt it will rain again shortly and the birds will do their bombing runs now the Yeti is clean and dry for a couple of minutes; it drives me to despair living here on the valley side but all around us it is very hilly; the only reason we endure it is because it's our home. Our antisocial neighbour has just lit another fire in her garden; it's bad enough them being burglars and druggies etc.
All I want from retirement is peace to go about my hobbies and jobs around home; I'm no trouble to anyone; the climate is forever against me soaking me many times even whilst I just go into the workshop; if I sit at the computer charity bags drop on the mat at my feet; because we live in a good area we are constantly pestered by tradespeople or people in general at our door all wanting something from us; the first days sunshine and we had Jehovah Witnesses pestering us; I'm not into religion or politics at all. I don't want to buy wet fish or resin drives; I don't want pestering to sign a petition because houses are to be built the person doing the pestering I presume lives up a tree or in a cave otherwise it's a case of I've got my house that was built in a green field but no one else can build near me? We were pestered with a petition about erection of a mobile phone mast; we didn't have a mobile phone but the pesterer had; why are people so self centred and selfish these days. It just goes on and on without let up.
Sorry for the moan but anyone thinking I'm kidding please enjoy an holiday in Huddersfield for a week?
Kind regards, Colin.
