Almost three weeks ago all 3 of us went down with a flu type virus with a dreadful cough - M and myself have been virtually no-where ever since but on Friday we went out in the car.
We had read in the local paper that our London Council BEXLEY had a limited number of bags of rock salt and snow shovels that they were going to sell at cost price. Strangely, they were not at our local recycling centre - the north of the borough, but the south side. (our area is certainly the 'poor' end of the borough where we have such delights as the sewage works, sewage burner - and now a rubbish burner. Perhaps they think it is not very important bothering about our roads!)
Anyway, we had no idea where the other centre was so we used the Sat Nav - which seemed to take us on a scenic route which went on forever... The place was well concealed and we went past it several times without even seeing it.
Eventually we bought our items - which probably now ensures we have no heavy snowfall! - but we had an 'outing'.

We were going to buy a snow shovel from Bexley then saw same shovels for sale at same price in our local shops.So much for Bexley selling them at cost price.But its no surprise.

Yes, we thought it was rather dear - and the bag very small! Council making us do their work - as usual!
