I won't bore you with the details but I've a had a rubbish couple of days (one of those things where just when you think things can't get any worse, they do 
). Anyway, I've just had a lovely things happen which has restored my faith in human nature a bit. I live over the road from a little shop where the chap who runs it buys huge job lots of stuff to sort and sell on. He quite often has gardening things and I've bought loads of old-but-serviceable tools from him, mainly for just £1 or £2 each! I called in today and picked up a lawn scarifier, a fruit picker on a pole thing and three really nice large planters. He asked me for £7, which I thought was brilliant, THEN asked if I could use any plant pots and bits and bobs. I said of course (who can't!?) and he produced four enormous crates full of pots and two watering cans and said they were mine to take away, free, gratis and for nothing 
He even helped me carry them home.
The pots all need a bit of a clean up but there are lots of different sizes, different shapes, even a few teracotta ones! Quite turned my day around, that
