Weeds 14 feet off the ground!

I spent the weekend tackling weeds 14 feet off the ground! Or to put it another way, up a ladder, held by the boys (and it still shook sometimes) removing all kinds of debris including weeds, from the guttering of the house; long overdue, as I noticed last time it rained (the rain just came down OUT of the gutter) and the last time I looked up, and saw lots of green sprouting weeds.

Among the other odd artefacts that had somehow found their way up there (with weeds, moss and ferns):

- one seven inch Woody from Toy Story, fabric, and soaked in slime (yuk!)
- a Duplo child's brick
- a wooden brick
- A plastic holder for a toy sword, approx 1 ft long!
- a CD free with Frosties (maybe Father Christmas dropped it?)
- A toy Geppetto (still looking for Pinocchio?)
- Toy Winnie the Pooh (looking for the honey tree?)

(sounds like the Generation Game!)

Task for kids: write a 200 word essay on "What Dad found in our gutter!"

I wonder what the oddest item is that people have found in their gutters?
