A slow start to Sunday and misreading the weather forecast meant it took some real self motivation for David and I to take our turn at the litter pick relay this week! We changed our mind three times about our intended route, eventually deciding to combine shopping with a litter pick just as the rain preceeding Storm Herminia started to come in. It turned out that this was an excellent route, as it toon almost no time at all to fill our first bag walking through the park. Then, bin bag number 2 turned out to be essential, filled almost entirely with bags of dog sh*t as we drew closer to the marina - yuck! The wind and rain definitely got stronger and colder during our walk, so we've got all the heating and lots of blankets out at home now to try and thaw ourselves! We'll try to get out again soon, as there's still plenty of rubbish to collect along that route. But we may wait for the next storm to pass before venturing outside again! Hopefully it warms up a bit for the Stables tomorrow 🤞
