Skip to the View

7 Feb 2015

We still had the skip, though it was bulging with rubbish, and the old pieces of yacht foam piled on top were blowing off every night, so I rang up one evening at Jessica's where Spiros handled the delicate question of when they might collect.  It turned out that our track so terrified them that they wouldn't come back until the weather dried up a bit.

Saturday 7 Feb, around 9.30 am we were lazing in bed, waiting for the day to warm up a bit before we ventured out, when I got a call saying they were coming for the skip in 5 minutes.  It is definitely a recommended way to get out of bed on a cold morning - mad panic.

Three minutes later, the skip lorry appears, loads up the skip and off it goes - bye bye junk!  Not sure what had changed, it was still very damp weather.

Looking around, we realised the rain overnight had fallen as snow and our local mountains had gone all Alpine.
