April sunshine

With the light evenings and the recent beautiful weather we have all been enjoying , we were expecting a lot of rubbish on the beautiful greensward and surrounding roads near the beach. We did find plenty of rubbish but not nearly as much as we thought we would!

Many thanks to Paul, Roxy El Paula John and Ricky for turning out this evening.

We all set off with a litter picker and bag in hand. With new signs telling the public that it is an offence to leave litter in this beauty spot it does beg the question why there aren't any bins in the vicinity and also with so many security cameras everywhere why the council don't install some in this area.

Bizarrely this is one of my favourite tasks. Maybe it's because it's right on my doorstep,maybe it's because there is always so much litter and so it's a both needed and satisfying task or maybe because it's always such a relaxed task where we can walk and talk with each other.

Despite the area having been cleared recently we still filled 7 bags so we rant did feel it was a job well done. Many thanks to Paula who put all the bags into her favourite wagon and drove them down to a seafront bin where they will be collected by the refuse team tomorrow.

Next week is a Bank Holiday so we will all enjoy a rest and instead,meet next Wednesday at St Botolphs Church garden.

Wishing you all a very peaceful and Happy Easter long weekend.
