OK it's boring . . .

. . . but this is street life on my street.

One Street 2

A lovely morning and I set out to take pictures of our road and ended up climbing further up and taking pictures of snow capped hills and the snow on Lake District mountains glowing in the sunlight.

However . . .

. . . if this project is to do with street life as it is lived by individuals, then I have to go with the blip I took just as I was setting out. So, instead of a pretty, scenic picture, you have - a traffic jam on our street.

This is taking place in virtually the same place as the coalman blip. What it shows is that we have a very narrow road. The furniture van was trying to deliver next door (the plastic packaging was theirs). Then along comes a Council truck and lo and behold we have a problem. A few more cars and a tractor lined up behind and we have - a traffic jam!!

At this point the furniture van was trying, not very successfully I have to say, to reverse into the space outside the house, so that the traffic could pass.

A couple more things: the Council truck was delivering road salt to fill up containers, one of which is outside our house. This is so in bad weather we can treat our own roads, and I would say pavements except that, as you can see, we don't have such things,. The green bags you can see are waiting for collection. We were given these a few months ago so we can recycle plastics. We were also given green boxes for paper and bottles, but no one in the village uses these, because if we take this to the village recycling centre, the Parish Council gets the money for it. Oh the politics of village life!

So there you have it. It may be boring, but that's life on this One Street.
