A load of rubbish

This 8 cu yard skip gives an indication of the amount of rubbish removed at the end of August '04 .

When we first bought the property we had already filled one skip with the junk from the garden - including remains of a small green house, old broken children's toys, broken tools, glass, plastic etc.

We also started work on clearing the shrubbery from around the barn. Over 10 ft high in places, the diverse annuals and shrubs had been carefully selected at some point. They were now hopelessly overgrown and being choked by brambles and nettles.

There would be much more of this to come...
