Wednesday 2nd May

Today I went litter picking with Richard, a volunteer who is staying with us for a month. We decided to clear all the fields and fence lines of rubbish that had blown off the beaches in the winter. We managed to fill 15 bags and hopefully the island looks a lot tidier as a result. It really shocks you to see how much plastic and polystyrene we throw into the sea, and the impact it can have.
