‘and usually takes a broom with him and a bag, to sweep up a bit, pick up any rubbish that blows off the roads and the fells. You’ll be amazed at the crap we find out and about.
Violet
Oh I wouldn’t, I take a walk to my home (devastated in the floods) to feed the birds & the amount of crap i find is jaw dropping & this is just a 20 minute walk there & back, the halfway point is a bridge over the river, the river that caused the flood, & the idea of plastic crap getting into it repulses me, as it’s a tidal river, which is why the flood was so bad. I know a good portion of it is school kids. So I’ve started picking it up, I didn’t mean for it to become a ‘thing’ it just did, I’d look at a soft drink can & think of a whale swallowing it, a lolly bag & a dolphin, & before I knew it, it was a thing. I don’t really care what people think, I know I’m doing a good thing, that’s enough, one day it was a 1/2 sized shopping brown bag full of it! Our species disgusts me at times! Oh yeah, today I found a condom! I did NOT pick it up, sorry fishies but I have my limits!
