Freecycle Enterprise!

Apple Harvest!

I whiled away a lunchtime in the hairdresser the other day, found a long-lost coat (I left it several cuts ago!) and found myself looking at a part of Sissinghurst'sWhite Garden. Some of that is an idea for our great expanses of areas needing activity – ie the concrete area that was dug up to improve our drainage in February... I just need to locate some paving slabs on Freecycle/FB recycling sites – Ive been looking, believe me, but logistically I have to be fully recovered from my surgery. Every week brings a new level of being back to pre-surgery me.

A surprise has bloomed!

I advertised our dropped apples on the local Freecycle FB site this morning, jokingly added that I needed a compost bin and by four o’clock I had a compost bin, filled with the windfalls, slightly less apples on the tree and stewed rhubarb and apple ready for dinner. Result!
And our house is ready for its paint, which was delayed by all matter of calamities and catastrophes this year. Sealer has now been applied all round the house, with a colour hopefully going on over the next couple of weeks.

And having set a husband and Squeaky free for an afternoon stroll round Wymondley Wood, my oldest has got the lawnmower out and is trimming the grass areas free of decaying apples. All in all a successful Sunday!
