The Pallet adventure



We ended up in a very nice area of Camden Town near Camden Square. Our flat has a lovely garden but the problem was that there was not a fence to separate our garden with the one of our neighbours. We considered the option to buy some wooden fences in a local Diy shop but it was very expensive. 

One night during our evening walk with the dogs we passed by a bakery factory and we noticed plenty of pallets abandoned next to a trash bin. Since that night, during our evening walks with the dogs, we collected several broken or slightly broken pallets. They are really heavy and not easy to transport on foot..but we always managed to get home..tired and with not force left in our harms but happy! 

Last night a police car stopped by and asked us many questions.
He did his job, but it was very frustrating for me. He treated us like some kind of people that were not doing things right.
I wanted to explain him that ours was an act of good citizenship, clearing what people left unwanted next to a trash bin, an ecological act because we recycled unwanted items and a creative act. But I had not time to explain all of that. The cop just left and we went back home..

Since then I haven't stopped thinking about it. It really bothers me...the society should move faster regarding the environmental issue!!!

Thanks to the pallets that we collected around Camden Olivier realised:
