18 April 2020 - Garden Waste collection and other things
Dear everyone,
Nice to be the bearer of a little good news for a change. Dorset Council have announced that it will be resuming its garden waste kerbside collections as from Monday 27 April. I think that they are to be congratulated not only for this move, but also for keeping the normal recycling collections going in very difficult circumstances. Rightly we are very grateful to the NHS staff for taking care of us so well, but there are other essential workers out there who also deserve praise for keeping vital services running. Well done.
Talking of NHS staff, we were outside our front door at 8pm on Thursday evening clapping in support of the efforts they are making to keep us safe. Some more ebullient neighbours were banging kitchen utensils together, but being a quiet restrained character I refrained from this noise making.
You might have noticed in the Echo that the Weymouth and Portland Police gave Easter eggs to their colleagues in the Ambulance Service as a small thank you for their work in the front line. I mention this because it was my Paramedic Grandson George in the picture receiving an egg, and I can say without bias that he looks very handsome. A chip off the old block in fact.
Only 12,102 more Newsbites to my free coffee at a Winter coffee morning. Soon be there.
Stay safe and positive
Best regards
Chris
