We use our reusable nets for fishing?

Part two of the holiday found us in the lovely village of Auchaltibuie 25 miles north of Ullapool in an area known as the Summer Isles. One gets to it by a road known worldwide as "the wee mad road" - well named. Fishing is the mainstay of the community. This is where litter is unheard of because one takes ones litter home. Our reusable nets and reusable bags came into thier own. Each day they took our sandwiches, apples and drinks as we headed off on another exploration. We used the nets as reusable fruit and vegetable nets and our bread nets for the sandwiches. Our folding shopping bags, being so lightweight took the drinks, sandwiches and fruit. Was the day we would have used supermarket bags but, thankfully, we have evolved....Once snacks were all eaten we could fold up our reusable multipurpose bags into a reusable compact shopping bag to use again and again...
