Report written by Dave M

Share the love

After the parade took us to the Pride festival site, we donned our pickers and set about looking for treasure. A lot of colourful non-natural feathers were about, plenty of ciggie ends and a bunch of very helpful people who used our litter bags as bins rather than leaving it for us to grab. One unfortunate ice cream cone had made it's match with the floor and a few stickers that even the pickers struggled to relinquish from the grass! But with full bags, an enjoyment of the entertainment and a look around the stalls made for a pleasant task in the basking sunshine.
