Well its been 2 days since I last posted. Another four bags collected, 2 fresh from today.
It seems such a shame that I have to fill these posts in such a manner.
I will be talking to the council next week to see where we go next.

Today I have gone out and walked from the post box to the gate at the top of Apple Tree cottage.
Not too far just about 30 yards from the dog waste bin next to the postbox. In that short distance we picked up 9 piles of dog waste. Not their fault but that of the people who own them who have a complete lack of respect for the community they live within.
This is an offence, see attached photo, if this occurs I will report it to the council with a photo of the dog/s concerned. I have witnessed them.

Dog loose on high street.

Good Afternoon,
If you are passionate about your local community, Dumfries and Galloway needs you! Only 35% of Scotland’s councillors are women, despite women making up 51% of the population.
Councillors make a huge difference to the quality of life of local people and how local issues are dealt with.
We need people from all backgrounds and experiences who reflect the communities they serve to put themselves forward for election. You don’t need any certain qualifications or work experience to become a councillor; you just need to understand your local community and what they care about.
ElectHer are inviting women across Scotland to join their free online workshops where they will give you all the information you need to start your journey towards becoming a councillor. You’ll learn what councillors do, how to put yourself forward for selections, how to campaign, and what to expect in elected office.
You’ll hear directly from current councillors in Scotland about how they first got involved in politics and what their experience has been like since, so you know what to expect as you set out on this exciting journey ahead.
You will also meet a network of other women considering putting themselves forward in the 2027 Scottish local elections, because we’re stronger together.
ElectHer can help you prepare for the Scottish 2027 local elections, covering all aspects of your campaigns and support your pathway towards a successful and impactful career! Link to register - Events + Workshops — Elect Her

It’s planned to be a busy weekend on the farm before the forecasted rain on Tuesday. We’re silaging and combining wheat. No traffic through the village of Hightae, we will be carting silage from Heck. Take the opportunity to get your washing out over the weekend, next week we’ll be spreading slurry to feed the grass for our Final Cut of silage. Hard to believe we are at this stage in the year already!
