Litter Picking Through a Named Storm

Back At It

Out and about today litter picking through Storm Kathleen. Little bits and pieces of rain and a howling gale. My large garden wagon is on injured reserve having broken its left forelock and we were out and about with minor trolley.

The pups have become used to the weight of the wagon and like to pull on it which helps me considerably getting round the village. We are not husky fit but they” hike” well.

Because minor trolley is so light the pups took time to adjust. The first hour or so they were not stopping on command and that extra step was enough to topple minor to the ground and with cursing I picked up the spilled litter. A halftime talk reset their energy and we got a lot more productive.

Litter picked Scarborough Road, The Crescent, and Church Street. It was heartening to see that the land behind the Miners Welfare was clean. Littering is not going to end, just accept it and carry on.

I spent forty-five minutes or so clearing out the fenced garden at the junction of Church Street and Savile Road. A good haul of recyclables pulled from the bushes. Soon I will give some consideration as to whether to tidy up these flower beds. There is a day of action sponsored by Lincolnshire CO-OP next Friday, 12th April 2024, to tidy the Miners Memorial Garden at the junction of Crompton Road and Church Street. Maybe there is some synergy to be had.

One bag of dross and one of recyclables and home out of the wind by 10:30.



KEEP RECYCLABLES OUT OF LANDFILL
