Our recycled goods are collected by an independent firm, not the local council's refuse collectors. I don't know what happens to the glass, paper and cans we put out, but other goods are sold at the depot. My husband bought an almost new golf club he'd been planning to spend a lot of money on at the sport shop for a few pence.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-73669603372386360952007-10-15T20:59:00.000+01:002007-10-15T20:59:00.000+01:00Now I see the resemblance to your car.

I don't remember seeing it, but I've been so distracted lately. <BR/><BR/>I should steal part of the your blog name for myself. <BR/><BR/>Recycling? I had a conversation awhile back with a recycling leader who admitted that recycled objects get tossed into the same dump as the regular garbage.<BR/><BR/>Why are we doing then? To get everyone to think about the environment ... and think of it I am. The big garbage trucks have a separate run around town picking up the carefully putative recycled stuff in separate bins when they could pick up everything at one time and save tons of money and exhaust fumes.erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-64616365629912262702007-10-15T19:03:00.000+01:002007-10-15T19:03:00.000+01:00I put a link to it in the post - there's a picture...I put a link to it in the post - there's a picture in an old post called My Aga didn't melt the ice caps.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-27450937924254621672007-10-15T17:45:00.000+01:002007-10-15T17:45:00.000+01:00Post a picture of your Aga, so we can see for ours...Post a picture of your Aga, so we can see for ourselves.erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-37814722549325704012007-10-15T09:29:00.000+01:002007-10-15T09:29:00.000+01:00Juliet: I'd be forever in your debt if you would l...Juliet: I'd be forever in your debt if you would let me have the gingerbread recipe in time for me to make some for my husband's birthday on 4 November.

We used to go at least once a year, when we stayed with my great-aunt in Warminster. I can recall the smell and taste of that gingerbread, more vivdly than I can yesterday's lunch. There is absolutely nothing in this world like it! What a SHAME that H&S rules have kicked in and the whole experience has to be sanitised. I stil have the slim recipe book I bought there when I was 12 and still use that recipe in preference to all others when making gingerbread. But, delicious as it is, it never touches the experience of eating it straight from the oven in that dark and smoky kitchen at Claverton. Hmmm, what a lovely, nostalgic way to start the morning - I shall smell it all day in my 'mind's nose'!!.
