Loosestrife

Pretty Lilac blooms of the Loosestrife is attracting the Bees :)
I've been sorting out all my books, ones I want to keep & ones to go to Charity; we've got 4 bags between us so I loaded them into my car to take them to Ocklynge Community Centre Charity Shop.
I also needed to take Joans Fan & the old Cat Scratching Post to the tip, so loaded them in too as well as an Ironing Board to go to Charity.
Off I went only to find there was roadworks holding us all up; finally I got through & was on my way.
They were very pleased with all the Books, DVD's & CD's I gave them with a few clothes thrown in.
I wondered round, but didn't find anything.
I came back the long way round knowing about the roadworks getting to the Tip at the right time with no queue.
All dumped. DONE.
Home to check in on Joan, she seemed happy after waking in the middle of the night thinking it was morning & very overcast. LOL!
I then popped to the ST. Wilfreds Charity Shop to give them the Ironing Board because the other shop couldn't take it, but they were happy to take it. 
I had a look around where I found a Garden Hostess Trolly & a lovely Jug.
