Wombles… an explanation

Sorry all, just realised you may not all know what Wombles are…

Have a read here at Wikipedia.

Wombling

It has been a good couple of weeks in my neighbourhood. Why? Because it has been kerbside pickup time! In other words, lots of people dump their unwanted stuff on the kerb for the council to pick up. Now, while I hate the idea of all that junk going into landfill, it is a good thing in that people like me get out there and womble anything worth keeping. I found myself some fantastic pots and planters.

I caught the woman putting the green planters out and she said they were her daughter’s, who’d moved to Sydney! And these things would be worth thirty or forty dollars new!

So, my mum and I (she visited on Mother’s Day and this is what we spent an hour in the afternoon doing - do you see where I get it from?) found all of this nearby my place. We were very excited!

I’m looking forward to planting out some of my seedlings in them this weekend - when our possum-spray experiment has concluded.
