Because of back problems I didn't want to risk kayaking this morning but was able to be fairly active with Alexander Technique lie-downs every now and then.
I went up the road to get some plane tree leaves from round the corner for the front flower bed.
Just up the road was a skip, uncovered with quite a bit of wood in it. Most not suitable for a fire but a bit was that I took back and left outside the door while I carried on to gather my leaves.
All small bits - no substitute logs. And one wide bit, that would have been great for making a shelf for the large drawer I have. Unfortunately it is warped.
It was quick to get enough to fill the collapsible fabric bin I have. Because of pollution for cars I only use the leaves I gather from beside roads on the front bed. Their main purpose is to provide hibernation cover for beetles, toads, etc.
