Books & Bins by happypat

Books & Bins

Tuesday & it’s library day & always dustbin day on a Tuesday too.
Every three weeks the mobile library parks outside & I use it even though I much prefer the public library in Garstang or my kindle. I’m sure I will be very glad of that library van in the future.

Two of my neighbours too so out of the whole village of Little Eccleston there are only the three of us! It was Lesley’s on the left birthday today. I asked her if she was doing anything special but she said no only Keep Fit.
She lives on her own so quite sad really.

Our pot holey road there for all to see….the state of the roads in the UK is atrocious!

Harry went to the village cafe for his bowing lunch & walked back.
Good to take advantage of this service or you may loose it..
Our roads are shocking as well pot holes just getting bigger and bigger.. hard on your tires..
Good to hear Harry out and about.

@julzmaioro Thins must have changed lots in the last three years then Julz, we always thought your roads outstanding & always mending the surface!

It’s our bin day tomorrow. I believe we have a mobile library that visits the village, but I confess I have never used it. I always seem to be behind with reading despite now having more time to do it.

Good to have a mobile library - my mum always loved visiting the mobile library especially living 11 miles from the nearest town! Our bin day is Wednesdays G will have to take them out before long!

It might possibly be a bowling lunch - hard to imagine all these old fellows bowing to each other the whole of the lunch time! No library vans in our town!

Good to hear that Harry has been out for lunch, and also that the mobile library is being used.

Bin day is Tues here too 🤔 I'm sure they collect on other days too😂😂
Mobile library vans are so important especially in rural areas. Our good friend Charlie drove one in rural Aberdeenshire when he first retired. Sometimes round about Balmoral area and beyond. He is a very good storyteller and has some hilarious accounts of the people he met.
Lovely that Harry is feeling like getting out a bit now.

Good to take advantage of the mobile library. Our roads are being repaired at the moment. After a couple of years of so much rain the roads have suffered. The main road between us and Nelson Bay has just been finished and it is a really smooth ride into the bay now instead of having to avoid potholes.

Glad Harry is out and about again.

I have to say, I love my kindle…light weight on the arms when reading in bed!

Great shot!

Love the caption! We are fortunate to still have a library, but I always feel it's hanging on by a thread. Our bank is closing in October.

Lovely image, title and narrative. Go Harry!

@jamibann No bank……outrageous ! Only one left out of four in Garstang! 😨

Lovely image which tells a story. Nice to have the library coming to you instead of you going to the library.

You are lucky to have a mobile library. Make sure you use it Pat and then you're less likely to lose it. Good to hear that Harry is getting out and about.

Very nice to have a mobile library especially for those who aren't able to visit a local library

Really great to hear about the "walked back" part 😊
