Wasn't sure how the kids would feel about today's task but it turned into a little adventure.
In an effort to clean up our local area we were challenged to fill a bag with litter. Mike and I weren't sure where to take them- in all fairness we wanted to avoid parks as the kids finish school later on a Thursday and they needed to be fed before Jacob's guitar lesson.
We started picking up rubbish in the school grounds, then wandered down the passage towards church, picking up all the rubbish we found on our way. Sadly, bearing in mind we were merely walking between school and church, this consisted mainly of beer cans, cigarette packets and discarded lighters. Moving towards the lay by and grassy verge outside St Michaels church we found a lovely stash of baby wipes, more fag packets and a broken phone charger.
We'd filled our bag by the time we reached the millennium path so rewarded ourselves with a walk through the churchyard in the lovely late afternoon sunshine.
Jacob remarked that everyone should have a copy of our LLLL book, because if everyone filled a bag with litter everywhere would look much nicer.
Genesis 2:15
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
