Yesterday Nigel, Iris and Bertie found their first “find” of the new school run year, to wit a box of free books looking for a new home ………
…… the box was outside one of the houses in Nigel’s favourite road on the journey as it’s a bit on the posh side! There were a lot of travel guides, so obviously a well travelled household. All the books were perused with consideration, however in the end the little gaggle opted for a book on handcrafted Christmas and festive decorations as it was the most useful, not only to them but also Darrell, what with his obsession for all things of a seasonal décor type nature.
It was fortuitous that Nigel also had a pen in his school run trolley so that, he could write “thank you” on the piece of card beside the box that said “help yourself”. Sometimes the school run can be a little boring, but it’s boxes like this that help break up the journey and monotony ……. and when the festive season is eventually upon us Nigel had a little plan to repay the kind gesture ……….

A great find. I would have been tempted by a travel guide, myself.
Just as well it wasn't raining.
