I used to live in Brum where bin collections were hit and miss at the best of times then they went on strike last year and still are I believe. 
Here in South Staffs bin collection is bloody brilliant. Next time tge come I shall dash out and do a selfie...for the non trendy pensioners on here that's a photo with yourself and others on your phone..not the one plugged into the wall ok?

Cloudy... Just popping to the Co-op.. Making a treacle tart ..Putting it in the freezer ready for a family gathering next month.. In the week I am making a butterscotch tart , like we had at school, to put in the freezer..
Many Camelia blossoms fallen around here too..

It's a rare treat for me too.  I lost quite a bit of weight before I had my knee replacement, no way am I putting it back on!
