Rounding off this week’s May walks, saunter across Tuckton Bridge to the Christchuch side of the River Stour.
Where are you now and who is watching you?
Perhaps you won’t get lost if you follow the path…
…and don’t annoy The Green Man
You have reached your destination.
Gather here for the monthly Win on Waste; to the delight of green thinkers or anyone on the obsessive spectrum you can save all sorts of household items unwanted in your council recycling bins. From stamps to old toothbrushes. At a glance the most popular donations seem to be medicine blister packs and bras. The various items are donated to charities, community groups and artists. Exactly how they use them I am not sure, but ‘follow the milk bottle top’ could be a topic for a blog…
Do you have local community collections?

It was the garden of the Druitt family. Their house is now the library and the gardens were also given to the local people.

Hello Janet, I did wonder about that carved tree which I saw on Instagram earlier. A lovely walk.

Yes ~Robbie, he was carved a few years back when they were restoring the gardens.

My eyes popped out when I read Tuckton. Mrs B’s old stomping ground – she lived in Pokesdown and we had our first date in Christchurch.

Ah well I’ve posted a few local pictures this week. I’m just down the road ( long walk or short bus ride ) from Pokesdown, Pokesdown Vintage Quarter as they like to call it these days. I am often in Christchurch, a walk down the hill for me; that’s where our writers’ group meets.

I do a woodland walk every day with Ollie. But we have no carved trees to discover. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
