Happy Coincidences

[daviddevantnhisspiritwife]

I awoke on Sunday to find my car full of junk. My wife had loaded it the night before whilst I was on the plot. This meant that I had to visit the tip before I could get to the GC to buy some more compost.

At the tip I saw some demijohns which I liberated (6 of them, doubling my collection).

After pulling out of the tip I saw an Elder in flower (a rarity round here as the soil isn't really suited).

I now have Elderflower wine fermenting and 3 bottles of Cordial in the fridge.

I didn't think I'd be thanking my wife for filling the car with carp.

A few weeks ago driving home from work I was undecided about getting more fuel, I went round the roundabout another time and headed for morrisons garage, got my diesel and instead of going back on the bypass I went through the village and out the other side nearly at the other roundabout I spotted a skip... the result was 8 6x2 beams of 8-9foot and assorted timber for the fire.

Sounds like you both had great finds. Best sort of bargain!

Haha! We're all skip-divers at heart!
