I saw this "news" item on the Tewkesbury news website:

Liz may be confusing Shane and Shaun :

Way to go, sheep! (I don't like Liz Hurley).

I didn't know that Liz Hurley lived there but when I go to visit that client who lives in the middle of nowhere my route takes me within 1 mile from her place.

I won't tell you what my neighbours round here in deepest darkest Devon think of people who move to the country and then complain about noisy sheep, cows, church bells and country smells - needless to say it's not very flattering.   I love to hear the sheep outside my bedroom window, and the church bells too, cockerels greeting the dawn, cows mooing and owls hooting at night.

 rural noises win over city ones, every time, imo.

Squiggle, I agree with you. It does seem a bit much for townies to move into the countryside and then complain about the sounds which are typical of country life (and I've always lived in town)

Yep, Yogi our council is one HUGE dumpling. They never do anything without an inspectors say-so 

Thanks Squiggle 

I wonder what make them attractive to butterflies *scratches chin*

It's the same up here. When we decorated the back bedroom, hubby phoned the refuse department for a 'special uplift'. The girl asked for a list of items to be uplifted then said someone would have to go out to determine how long it would take two of their employees to lift it from our back garden into their lorry. Hubby said it would take them less than five minutes, but we had to wait for someone to come out and confirm it. Then we had to wait for someone else to come and collect it - and this is a service we are charged for, it's not free!

 that just about takes the biscuit, doesn't it Yogi?  

Here we have to put stuff to be collected on the edge of the property, the night before collection. They charge £35 and that is only for a certain amount of items. Beds count as two items  

If you are a senior citizen you are allowed so many black bags and items, once a year for free 

They are attracted by the nectar in the flowers on buddleia  - more info on this link:

Thanks El. That was very interesting 

 That's even more expensive than ours!

I've just read your post to Mr Yogi and he says you can understand why flytipping happens.

We take most smaller stuff to the tip/recycling centre and only get uplifts for large things like beds, furniture etc, but people who don't have a car have no option but to ask for uplifts.

 Thanks for the link, El.

I like to think my buddleia plant is helping the butterflies and bees. 

Yep, we have a lot of flytipping, as Mr Yogi says. So in the long run it costs the council more because they have to send crews out to remove it. Makes no sense to me at all tbh Yogi. Same here too about taking stuff to the tip. You need a car/van and have to make an appointment too 

At our tip, car drivers don't need an appointment but van drivers have to.

You are right, flytipping costs the council more in the long run.

I am eating a pink grapefruit yoghurt - it's a wee bit sour.

I don't like yoghurt Yogi 

 I go through spells when I eat it a lot, then I don't touch it for months.

 Are you going to watch the eviction tonight Yogi?

BB Sweet 

Hi  

How is the decorating going?

Hi moonie how do?

Oh, and I just masked up the carpets so I can gloss tomorrow night

Yep, they have been sprayed so hopefully that's it now 

I think the eviction as a whole 

Oh a thunderstorm has just began 

That's good 

 Not mentioning any names.

Good luck with the glossing tomorrow. It will soon be finished and your hall will look lovely.

Moonie, you seem to get a lot of thunderstorms, is this normal weather in your area?
