As running can get a bit tedious and I wanted to carry on with the fun playing in the mud I have spent the morning hunting the storm drain and putting together a bin store. I ended up following the downpipe from the back of the house to the boundary. The plan is to put the water tank up against the fence and harvest the water from the storm drain. Once the tank is full then the water will overflow back into the storm drain.

Since we moved the gates forward then we couldn't hide the bins on the drive anymore so I used the tiles dotted round the front yard and pulled them together into one platform. It seems to hold my weight.

We have also seen a couple of programs giving tips on composting which showed us that our chuck it in and hope technique was not going to cut it. I've moved the compost bin and mixed it all up with some of the leaves from the drive and watered it in a bit so hopefully with some tlc it will come good. Here is the finished store with all the bins back in place.
