We pass an industrial estate on one of Winston’s walks.
Normally this area is full of company lorries – or employee’s cars – or it has Caterpillar heavy equipment set 3 or 4 deep waiting to be taken around the country. For a few weeks now though there have been no cars, no earth-movers, just wood.
Thousands and thousands of wooden pallets stacked high and deep. The only noise we have heard is the small machine that stacks it all up. The beep-beep-beep as it reverses.
It was strange seeing all the machinery parked so squarely and the lorries so carefully but this is .. spooky almost.
