The brown bin collections are on non-existent at present, and will remain so for some weeks. So at some point we'll have to put the back seats down in the car and take a trip (or two!) to the recycling tip.

Lovely walk after we'd had dinner. The path across the field was ill-defined as the grass has been cut for hay and not yet collected. Presumably it's been left to dry in this lovely warm spell. It makes walking quite tiring as you have to lift your feet high not to drag mini haystacks along on your shoes.
