Here is a short video I knocked up this morning on the benefits of litter picking.

How to meet new people and make new friends

 Get yourself some bags and a litter picking stick. Put a smile on your face and people will talk to you.

I wasn't going to do any picking today. After Crafty Club I went across the road and had a natter with Angela, then went home and put the heating on because the weather has turned cold again. My intention was to get on with my sewing project. It was about 5.30pm when I suddenly jumped up and took myself off to my usual picking site on the Industrial Estate. There was something I wanted to check out. I don't very often walk around the pond, but I had seen someone having a barbeque yesterday, and I wanted to check if they had left any mess behind. 

I parked and took a couple of carrier bags with me because there's no way I could get a trolley down there. So I did a circuit of the pond, assisted by a lorry driver who was parked there for the night. We have met before. I think he was pleased that he came with me. Better than sitting in his cab all night. He will be going to bed early because he has to pick his trailer up at 4am then drive to Scotland. We filled the bags, I transferred the contents to a red bag. So there you have it. Another red bag plus a smaller bag of glass bottles. Back home by 7.30pm. 

Now I must put the hedgehog food out. It's getting dark and they will be here soon. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
