Keep Britain Tidy

The day started with a shop being launched - see the BlipCentral post.

During the last week, I (Annie) was thinking about outdoor activities we could do that up my steps and keep me active - on top of going for walks. I browsed to the Keep Britain Tidy site and found there was a village clean up happening today in the next village. I regularly take a bag out with us on walks to collect litter so (poor Chris) I signed us up.

We had a good social time in the village interspersed with sending Chris into a stream. Once finished, and after a cup of tea, there were still a few council-provided bags left empty. This seemed a wasted opportunity. Chris and I headed off to a local main road lay-by that was really littered - and blitzed it (see extra).

Community spirit and making a difference matters. But - I mainly tidy for myself (so my view is better) and for the wildlife (so they don’t get stuck in plastic). The humans of this planet can do their own tidying.
