The story

Euan waves his arms high in the living room while Rowan holds a drawing.

Euan planned the biggest wave ever for Eddie.

Malik sets out a cone beside the parked lorry.

Rowan noticed Malik working on the round too.

A grown-up stands with Rowan and Euan at the window.

A grown-up kept them at the window, nice and safe.

Malik and Eddie wave back to the children at the window.

The crew parked and waved back.

Euan and Rowan draw a picture of both crew members.

Euan added both of them to his greeting picture.

Euan and Rowan wave from inside the window.

And they waved from their safe place, right to the end.

Draft, 19 October 2026. The words and pictures are not yet reviewed by an educator. The story follows the outline in our story guide.

The real-life bit

Wave to your bin crew from a window or the garden, never from the road or near the lorry. Gullbrae is made up. Your council’s own rules are the ones to follow.
