Bear

One of our hamlet neighbours rang to say they had some horse manure. That’s not your every day phone call but it thrilled me. Then I remembered that our trailer was full of rubbish waiting to go to the tip. So off we went to empty it. Sometimes they have huge piles of shredded vegetation which people use as mulch. Some wag had mounted a guard on the pile.

Now I have an empty trailer and on Saturday I’ll take it, along with a big shovel, to collect lots of pony poo for my vegetable garden. I’ll make them a lemon drizzle cake in exchange.
