After leaf collecting the other day I filled a v large black bag with leaves and left them next to my shed, days later I went to the lottie and they were gone. :o words can't express how I feel but at least I know where the saying Tea leaf comes from. >:( :'( :-\ :o ;D ;D ;D
did they blow away?
See Kev, that's what happens when you have a lottie on the wrong side of the A10 ;)
Joking aside its those little things that really get you - maybe someone thought they were doing you a favour by getting rid of your 'rubbish' in the black sack??? OK a bit Polyanna, but you never know.........
Might even find it's those people who collect sacks of old clothing for "charities". They have been known to take all sorts of things in black bags left outside people's houses. One particular story was that a lady left a bag of laundry out to be collected by the cleaners, and that got taken by them - never to be seen again.
Mind you, I'd love to see their faces when they opened yours, CornyKev :-[
When we lived in a flat i used to take my washing to the launderette in a black bin bag and hubby thought it was rubbish and slung it in the bin !!!!!!!!!!!! :P
I spent 30 mins looking for it before i rang him to see if he had taken it to do it, much laughter as i pulled it out the bin !!! lucky it wasnt bin day ;D ;D
We are lucky as local contract gardeners bring leaves up and grass clippings which get put into a large holding area and we can help ourselves to them :D saves them ending up the tip !
The black bag of leaves in question stood higher and wider than your average dustbin, they were that heavy you would have to drag them away, the bag was open so you could see what was in them and they were down the bottom of my lottie away from prying eyes, in a locked allotment. I suspect its aliens at work. :o ??? ;D ;D ;D
