Always thought it must be tricky to furnish a light house.
Some nice bags there

Beattie did indeed hand out two bags in Estonia. Twas to a sweet lady running a tourist information centre. No exactly the most populous area – got a shop car once a week. Of course you could always watch the artisan well, or inspect the Russian missile base. Don’t ask about the hornet.

Good to see you back in action Sazzie.

Well, we did our handout this morning.
The theme was to think environmental, and do it all on foot, walk there and give the bags to walkers. The weather was quite nice for a change so we decided to do the Beacon, always walkers there we thought.
Wrong. We got to the top and only managed to give away one bag en route, and that to someone admiring the view from a car.
There was the “Old Man of the Beacon”. We could see him dodging about at the summit as we toiled up, but he had vanished, of course, when we got there. After a ceremonial pic we headed, still bagful, down to the village only to spot the Old Man of the Beacon again.
Beattie set off in hot persuit while I admired the view to the north. Was that distant glow from some initiative by the Leicester group, or merely the northern lights?
Needless to say, The Old man of the Beacon effortlessly lost Beattie and we entered the village by hidden ways, bag laden and in increasing desperation.
Here Beattie was proved right, there were still people in need of a bag. Some even had old Morsbags with them, in the wild!
Eventually, bagfree, we had a tea (traditional, with cream cake) with the local sea conservation group fund raisers. We found one of them had been nobbled in “The Great village bag hand for Christmas” a year or two back.
We did our bit.

I was thinking of this
Some of us remember when this was first shown!

Oh and the affair of the bronze boot dogs.
Why is it that other peoples bags are more exciting than your own?

Finished and aiming for a cup of coffee.
Ask Beattie about her wet haddock shot

In not sunny Redruth and I can hear Beattie doing her spiel. Quite a few given out. More refusals than we expected. Mainly by men on their way to the betting shop and dressed up ladies ???
Must get back to it

“These are some lovely Offcuts2 bags ready to go out to the wild on saturday. I know the poppies are 90 degrees wrong and the Orla Keilyish bag is 180 degrees wrong but thats their charm! ;-)”
I know someone who gets into trouble if the flowers are the wrong way up …………………..

Nice to hear about the old machines.
Just a quick word though, they must be PAT tested before used by public.
There are reasons….

Last bag from me
75 + 1 =76
