| What is it? |
Including the 3 collected today I’ve gathered 6 bags of
rubbish since I last spoke to you, all of them on Northway. There’s an awful
lot of rubbish on the sides of our main roads and no sooner is it cleared than
more appears. Yet among all the polythene and plastic, the bottles and crisp
bags nature continues to thrive. 100s of snails use the carrier bags and the
take away trays as a shelter for the winter. This week I came across this
perfect sphere of woven grasses, not quite as big as a football but unmistakeably
a form of habitat. I'm ashamed I have no idea which creature creates such a fantastic home. If you are able to enlighten me I'd be very grateful.
The sun is shining giving the light and warmth which
brings leaf buds out on the bushes and trees. On the sides of those same busy
roads crocus, daffodils and banks of snowdrops are pushing their way into the
light. The earth is showing its beauty after the devestating rains of the
winter. Such a shame it has to compete for space with all our carelessly
discarded refuse.
