Clean for the Queen stirred the nation this weekend and I
wasn’t going to be left out. With 3 events scheduled in West Lancashire I opted
to head over to Beacon Country Park on Sunday morning. It’s a fabulous spot
with stunning views, a lovely spot for the kids to let off steam.
Unfortunately, the clash with Mothering Sunday probably affected attendence. I
could only have stayed an hour that morning so after a chat with a very nice
ranger who offered me an armful of Clean for the Queen bags and accepted a Know
your Prostate leaflet I headed home.
With verges I worked on yesterday afternoon and again
today I filled 3 more bags for the Queen. So that I have now covered both sides
of Northway from the county border to Winifred Lane. I’ll have to start looking
for a new spot. (Dare I say yippee!). One of the high spots actually happened today when I met
Tony. Offering him a leaflet I learned he had no need of the
information, Tony has already faced the experience of Testicular Cancer and I
was privileged to learn a little about it. Good man. Not everyone is ready or
able to talk about life threatening
illnesses. It is a shame because by speaking among friends and
colleagues you are sharing essential information. People listen to face to face
stories far more than they take notice of campaign publicity. Thanks Tony for
taking a leaflet to pass on to someone who needs it.
