Please note this is a working white village , people go to work , children go to school and go past the house with their school bags, the gas man goes past in the afternoon crashing gas canisters and beeping as he goes, the breadman comes and parks outside at 8.30 am and beeps his horn, to allow all the neighbours to know he’s arrived with his fresh local bread (it’s fine to go out in your pjs to get fresh bread like the locals)
The bin truck goes past around 10-12pm every night, (you can hang your bin bags on the railings) please take note of the recycling nights) there are bins in the kitchen for recycling. The brown bin is for food waste and the green bin is for plastics or cardboard. Please note the magnet on the fridge for collection days. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me!
