The Usual Recycling Suspects.

Another run on Höll.

The months tend to run seamlessly from one to the next. Often one can't tell what specific month it is never mind the actual day. During our current stay at home rules that might intensify.

 Quick, name the day, month and date!!!

Anyway, here in our neck of the woods the months can be kept track of by stint of Höll's recycling plant. Each and every first Saturday of a month it is open and pid pipers a whole slew of locals through its gates. 

Today being one of those days. I started my walk in a foggy atmosphere barely beating the light's appearance which proved rather spooky in places. Imagine walking into a dusky fog and disappearing into it. The only bright spots were several local villagers scootling along to the recycling plant with bright lights shining a path for me. They had to drive slower due to trailers filled to the rafters and that made me recognize cars and some faces.

Several chugged  along in their tractors ( vintage for the most part ) on their monthly Saturday homage to the recycling plant. Which had me thinking about  how much stuff they have stored in cellars and attics because the same lot of people go and discard unwanted goods each and every month. Surely once you have enough stuff at home it is time to stop getting more? 

Recycling isn't the golden answer to consumption everyone thinks it is. Whenever we buy something new, resources are being chopped, culled or mined in order to manufacture the latest couch, table, sun umbrella or china. We shouldn't kid ourselves that recycling atones for our sins of  consumption...

At the moment the postmen and couriers are working like crazy trying to deliver our online must haves ( sadly, Bob and I do also buy online at times  ) which more than likely will find a new home in Höll a year or so down the road...
