Blots on the landscape.

Good evening.

My delicious and filling lunch was a vegetable omelette. Mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots, with grated cheese. Then I set off for a walk, taking my litter picking stick and a bag with me. 

The first part of the walk was on tracks on the edges of fields. I knew there would be no litter there, because very few people use them. When I came out on the road and walked into a village, that's where I found litter, loads of it. I filled my bag and emptied it into a litter bin on the roadside. 

Off I went again along the road and by the time I got to the park I had another full bag. There are bins behind the cafe so I emptied the litter into one. 

Along the road, behind a hedge, I found this massive fly tip. They have used this spot before. it is mostly cannabis plants and root balls. They come along under the cover of darkness. Those black bags are heavy, so I suspect they use a small tipper truck. The farmer will have to get rid of it because it is on private land. 

A short distance along there is another entrance to a field, and another pile of rubbish has been dumped. 

I filled my bag a third time from the grass verges and had to leave some of it behind. I need to make another walk along there. 

Fly tipping and littering are endemic. People have no social conscious, they don't care. We are turning into a third world country. Very sad. 

Now I'm going to cuddle Mayze. Enjoy your Sunday. Toodle pip.   ilona
