Pause for thought!

I have just put out the bin bag for the bin men to collect and it made me stop and think, last week on my holiday there was 9 people at our basecamp and between 9 of us we only just filled one bin bag yet my bin bag I have just put out was full to the brim and there is only 2 in the house, and I wasn't here all of the week either!

It just made me think I could do much better on the re-cycling front! Yes I do re-cycle glass, cans, plastic bottles, newspaper/mags and I have a composter but I have to put my hands up and admit on the odd occation a bottle or newspaper does end up in the bin bag if it's cold outside and same with the composter so I can improve in that area!

The basecamp we went to had a woodburner which was good for getting rid of those small bits of cardboard that you can't take to the local tip for recycling so if anyone has any suggestions in that area! I did find out that you can put egg boxes in your wormery if you have one...I have a chicken so don't have to worry about that bit!

I have to say my local council are good on the re-cycling front as they collect most from your doorstep and also did a great bargin on composters recently, although I do miss the sound of breaking glass that you hear when you drop glass bottles in the large containers!!

Well it's that time again, 8 weeks seems to fly by sometimes! I'm back on nights again, part of me enjoys the peace of night shift the other part doesn't like the way as soon as you have got your body adjusted it's time to go back to a normal time zone!!

I went to bed very late last night and got up very early this morning so hopefully i'll be able to get a few hours kip this afternoon!! Which reminds me I'd better hunt out the spare duvet...great for putting over the window...it almost feels like night when it's up...however there is always that one crack of light that gets through however hard I try to cover the window completely!!

Ok as promised, some photo's from my holiday...The week started off with fine if not cold and frosty weather! On the Friday we woke up to a layer of snow, and even though it was cold it was beautiful working conditions! A great week was had by all (I hope!)




Painting fence posts with some very sticky black paint!

Back again!!

Yes I know i've been a little slack in recent weeks posting! I've just got back from another holiday...last of this year.

A great week in Wales with some really good company! It was my first as a leader and it went really well! (I think!) Hopefully I'll get around to posting some photo's tomorrow, I've got as far as downloading the photo's from my camera but as i'm tired I'll call it a day for now.

Promise I will try and post on here more often...I can't help being a busy popular girl....ok, ok just a busy girl!

Oops!

I've just looked at when I last posted on here! Ok I was away for a week but that was a couple of weeks ago! My next one is just over a week away and I'll be leading that one...scarey but i'm sure after a few nerves on the first day i'm sure i'll settle in and enjoy it!




Veiw in the evening looking out to sea...working hard....and Charmouth beach!
