There's been much tutting in the village of Roxham this week after West Norfok Council made changes to the bin collection service over the Easter holidays.
Before you think I'm about to complain that the bins are collected less frequently or they're now too small, the changes are actually very sensible but it would seem that the transition from the previous schedule to the new one has been far from smooth.
When I saw this headline, yes headline, on the front page of our local paper my immediate reaction was to smile; so it's not just the home owners of Ryston and Roxham questioning 'Have we got the right day?' or 'Did we misunderstand what goes in which bin?'. And even though our bins weren't collected for two weeks somehow we have managed not to disappear under a pile of our own wastefulness, although we have wasted many minutes jumping up to look out of the window only to realise it's just another tractor not the bin lorry.
Parochial news. Sometimes there really is a place for it. Clearly that place is here in West Norfolk.
