people often use the main square as a display place and yesterday thi slovely old Fiat was there. I was rather taken by the door handles and the forward opening rear passenger doors.

At last the weather is warm and sunny, it feels like spring at last.

not all our trains are this old!

This lovingly restored engine resides at our main station. There are also a couple of other historic trains to be seen. A happy small excursion for children (small and big).

This shows what happens when the state grants a private monopoly. When we buy anything we pay to have the packaging etc removed at no extra cost, but the company that do this dictate the volume that they will take (30 litres per family per week) and refuse to issue more bins and wobetide if the rubbish is not correctly sorted. Then they take nothing! All decided on our behalf by people in government who have no idea of the consequences of their decisions.
Two thoughts: machines sort better than humans; a parphrased quote from "the flowers of the Koran" - the more rubbish you can see on the streets , the poorer the land.
