The easy option.

I was in the mood for litter picking today. I had my eye on the grottiest spot you have ever seen. Thought I might give it a go. There is a big car park at the Football Stadium, and along one side of it underneath a row of trees, there is humungus amounts of litter and fly tipping. I noticed it last week when I was there so I thought I might make a start on it. 

I parked my car and did a walk around the whole perimeter to see what the rest of it is like. I decided not to tackle that awful mess today, and found enough litter along this edge with easier access, to fill three bags. There is my car, the trolley is out, and I started by pulling all the rubbish out first. 

Someone from the Football Ground stopped his car to thank me for tidying up. I said the litter is much worse underneath the line of trees around the corner. He said that the car park has been sold. They will be building houses on it. I think that will be a long way off, so I will keep it in mind to at least make a start on picking some of the litter up.  

Funny what you find. Right next door to the Football Ground are lots of fast food takeaway establishments. Someone obviously didn't like the look of their sausages. 

I thought about dropping my bags off next to four wheelie bins by the layby just before the motorway roundabout. I checked it out first. Oh my goodness, the whole area was covered in litter, and the bins were less that half full. No time to pick it up. I decided not to add to the mess that was already there. 

And so I dropped my bags off at my usual place, where I know they will be collected by the Council. 

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