Twice now I have been at home to witness a contractor’s large tanker-like vehicle drive up & down the lane hoovering up everything in sight; all the pavements & gutters in the village are similarly clean – wonder how they cope with the parked cars, which have always inhibited the process in the past?
The dyno rods seem to have worked too - there has been no more flooding on the bridge
The trains went back to their normal timetable on 13 December – took me by surprise because I thought that the 5 extra minutes inserted to allow for leaves on the line was there for the whole of the winter, not just for the 2 months from mid-October.
There has also been some determined lopping, or even cutting down, of trees. Well, it's not just leaves that fall, as we found out last year when the giant sycamore keeled over.
It does mean, sadly & however, that I have nor been able to gather interesting coloured leaves for home decoration this year.
