When I lived in Cheesman Park I could find great stuff but now all the dumpsters have been replaced with individual bins. ☹️ I think they call it progress, but it's been a cluster.

There is a great deal of rubbish that is put on the pavement, but at the last, I walked past a 3-seater leather lounge in excellent condition. We did not need one, but I couldn't bear the thought of it being crunched up in the garbage truck. I called my husband and we walked it home. It was a hot day, the couch was heavy and I sweated bucket loads in the transfer, but I felt like I had done a good deed in rescuing it!Catherine Berry (But you are in France, Madame)http://butyouareinfrancemadame.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700324863982616242.post-83027831423691680882017-04-03T20:53:24.839-06:002017-04-03T20:53:24.839-06:00Smart, smart girl!
