I Loathe Fly tipping, For a fiver the council will pick up an item say a fridge etc, and for a pound one black sack full of rubbish to take away. with the new monthly black bins collections being introduced across the country the situation is only going to get worse. The money the council saves on monthly collections is likely to be redirected to clearing away rubbish being dumped.<br />People don't seem to realise that it is illegal and once caught they face a fine, they are now using DNA.

Secretly enjoyed it after the wonderful hot, dry summer we have had.

We've been caugh...what a day to walk...raining? We've been caught in downpours before and walked home in it. It was unforeseen as well. At least we were wearing jackets but weren't rain proof. I usually don't walk in heavy rain but husband will with raincoat, which I insist and his hat with brim that he usually wears. Art work is in the eye of the beholder, at times. I've had my photography in competitions/shows and got nothing of a prize/ribbon in the last show...but winner was something not even pretty. Others were disappointed as well. It depends on the judge as well, but I finally quit that show. Have a good weekend and stay warm and dry. It's been a bit on the chilly side these past few days in Oregon. Still need to water as no rain. Yet. :'}<br />grandmabeckyl.blogspot.comGrandmabeckyl.blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362600588981799211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-79150720040605395772016-09-04T22:16:42.907+01:002016-09-04T22:16:42.907+01:00Love those sunflowers.

Pleased the gift arrived and hope the bulbs produce some lovely flowers in memory of Rocky. I was going to send some flowers but thought you'd appreciate something more lasting. Hope you have a lovely break.

So, even if a bit of a bother, perhaps a good sign? We have 3 days of potential rain with thunder storms predicted coming our way. It has been a bit wetter this year with some flooding in near by areas. We've been lucky with just a bit of rain in the basement which we have resolved. We had taken a little drive a couple of days ago and saw fields of sunflowers - they look so sad this time of year with their heavy heads hanging down. Much nicer when heads held high and following the sun. I get so frustrated when I see things like those 2 car seats. In our area, you must pay to have these types of items disposed off, which, unfortunately, leads to people dumping them elsewhere and making it a problem for someone else. I receive your posts via email, and thus far, have had no problem. Just wanted to let you know. I have had problems with receiving other posts from other bloggers but cannot tell you what they had to do to correct it or if it corrected itself. Wish I could be of more help. Try to stay dry.

How gross, and no, I'd not pay over five hundred quid for that picture, either. <br />We had rain yesterday and actually were very glad of it, the grass was yellow, and also, in Torquay and Paignton, where the funfairs have been on Torre Abbey Meadow and on Paignton Green, where the attractions and the owners' mobile homes and lorries have stood for the past month or so, there are huge bleached patches so the rain will have helped restore the soil once more to grass. <br />Margaret P galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.com
