I have been doing quite a lot of pruning of shrubs in the garden, and had collected up a heap of branches. They were all piled up in front of our garage waiting for my partner to run them all through the shredder. I use all the...

Not quite as altruistic as it looks!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 29 Oct 22

Autumn is here and the leaves are falling everywhere. The little road we live on has a lot of overhanging trees so of course that means lots of leaves on the ground. Passing cars soon squash them into mush and that means a lot...

Jackie Money @olliesmum (828) • Norwich, England 29 Oct 19
