Don't fall off the edge

Good evening. Well that's the elections over, done and dusted. Did you get who you wanted in your area. Mr Starmer had a bit of a wake up call. From listening to his speech afterwards, it seems that he refuses to be pushed out of the door. He still thinks he has a chance of turning things around for our country. He is living in cloud cuckooooo land. His hands are tied, he will carry on following orders. 

I knocked up this video this morning, and left it uploading while I went out. It's a bit tongue in cheek. A micky take. If you are offended, so be it.   

Remember the litter I found at South Ferriby yesterday. Today I went back to tidy it up. I parked my car in the lane, and went down a track to the waters edge, with a carrier bag and my picking stick. I was foraging around in the reeds and found loads of plastic bottles and cans which must have been washed up from the river on high tides hundreds of time. I couldn't go right into it, didn't want to lose my balance and fall into the mud. 

Back at the car I was wondering how to do the next pick. There is a wide open gate across the path, and the rest of the litter was about a quarter of a mile down there. The sign on the gate says no entry. I could get my trolley set up and walk down there. Just then a little truck came along so I waved at the driver to stop. I told him what I wanted to do, but would rather drive to the spot. As luck would have it he knew the farmer who's land I wanted to drive onto. Although it is a public footpath, vehicles are not allowed. The very nice man rang the farmer and told him what I wanted to do. Back came the reply, tell her she has my permission to drive down. Well that was good, saved me a lot of bother dragging my trolley back and forth. 

There is the River Humber, a long way down below the steep cliff. Don't fall off the edge. It was lovely to have a change of scenery. Nice and quiet and nobody watching me. Not a soul about. 

Plenty to pick. I filled the bag. 

All bagged up ready to go. One small bag of glass bottles. Plus a thing that floats in the water. Must have fallen off a boat. 

There is a small pond and a garden which the residents look after, and a very convenient litter bin next to it. Another one for the Council to collect. 

I might look for more places to pick litter. Will check the Industrial Estate from time to time. 

Thanks for popping in. Have a good weekend. Toodle pip.   ilona
