Today we returned to work after five nights away with cherished relations having received an unexpected phone call.
A has limited resources but supplements what she has with bamboos. A clump grows vigorously in her garden and needed cutting back. After a quick half hour on the patio we were happy to comply.
A's garden now looks tidier. As for us:-
We spent no vouchers or cash. We used no machinery, cutting individual canes with secateurs. We walked to the job and chose what we wanted; whilst the rejects went into A's brown bin en route to our borough's composting facilities. While my husband took our big bundle home, I walked to our local shops and spent some of the money in the Co-op.
Come the growing season we will use them. What a wonderful virtuous recycling circle this has been. Would that life was always this simple.
