My lovely friend, Di, is way more practical than I am. We recently had the leaking sink in our downstairs cloakroom replaced and needed to retile the splashback. I knew Di had done tiling in her house in the past, so I asked if she would do it for me.
Not only did she do the tiling – making a very fine job of it – she also let me have the leftover tiles from her own bathroom.
So not only is this a story of human kindness, it’s also kind to the planet because the leftover tiles would otherwise just have gone to waste.
