We have brown bins for garden waste, black bins for recycling and green bins for general rubbish. Seems weird to me, I think someone made a mistake about the black and the green bins. Our garden waste and the recycling were emptied on Friday in Norfolk. I was glad about that as I've been rose pruning. I have a compost bin too but I don't put prickly prunings in it.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
We have a well established privet. It flowers beautifully every year, my husband keeps it in good shape by carefully trimming back the non flowering stems, it requires patience but is well worth it. It then gets a good tight trim late September.
I've often thought that too @pansyface, but when you see what people here are charged in c. tax, I'd be livid if I lived in some of the roads I drive on. When I worked at the stables, we had a client who stayed in a very large house, in a very, very affluent area near here. She used to say '£xxxxx every year in council tax and what do we get? Bins emptied and one streetlight'. I'll never forget it. Every time I drive past her house, I think of that. She was very down to earth.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

...you ain't seen me, right?.....
By the time the cooncil gets round to doing anything here, I'll be 90.
No idea what they spend their copious amounts of cooncil tax money on - certainly not the bl**dy roads anyway.....
