Plastic bags are a blight on the environment and can be seen for miles in all directions. There is no need for a refuse collection because everything is recycled. Card and paper can be used for many things and can be burnt as fuel. Plastic bottles are rare but are used again and again either with different contents or adapted for storage. Palm oil is sold in small quantities from the street traders, so children are often seen buying it in small amounts from bigger plastic drums. As refuse tends to be dumped in a particular area: goats, sheep, cattle, chickens and rats can often be found pouring over the site and eating anything edible - not necessarily food! Tin cans are cut neatly or beaten flat and used as makeshift tools, containers or toys. All that remains is the plastic bag.

Thanks for the pictures.It is really nice to be able to picture you in your immediate surroundings. It looks pretty sparse and very dry.I think your weather is better than ours at present if that is any consolation,it is still FREEZING here!The poor sheep look a little thin too. I here from Mrs Sewell that you have a few unwanted creatures in your hut also.I hope they don't bite your toes...you should have taken Jimmy with you after all, he is good at pest control. I had another mouse dropped in the dining room last night, yuk... Where are you when i need you?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are settling in to the way of life there Julian, although I cannot imagine driving past people going to the toilet at the side of the road! My eyes would be on stalks!! ha ha. As for creatures roaming your room at night, ooh it makes me shudder. We have had traps in our loft and seem to be catching voles which aren't what we were expecting to find!! Keep posting more news, it's great to keep up with what you're doing. Hannah
