Asking the question





Blue bagObviously, I don’t know the exact circumstances which brought this valeting accessory to a grass verge in south Lancashire but it just should not be there. Taking pride in your own possessions and personal space is very laudable but it should not ignore the responsibility of making sure you do not do so at the cost of others. Who is supposed to clear up the mess you create. It would be so simple to have put this protective sheet in the paper recycling bag/bin which every household in the UK has access to. (Image from http://www.westlancs.gov.uk/refuse-recycling/what-goes-in-my-bins,-bags-and-boxes.aspx which is where you will find a guide to West Lancashire's recycling scheme)

Glorious afternoon out on Northway. Only 1 bag, there were lots of bits and pieces, not much bulk. This blog is about Prostate Cancer but we use the medium of collecting litter to spread the word and just occasionally littering habits do stir the emotions. So today I come across evidence of double standards.





Moving on, our family said goodbye to a lovely lady yesterday. Auntie Pat was part of our extended family and she will be sadly missed. We joined the many family and friends who gathered to celebrate her life and found ourselves sat with Steve. During conversation he told us about his own Prostate Cancer experience. Yet another case of discovering the disease by chance. Thankfully all is going well after his radical prostatectomy. You do just have to keep asking the question.
