What A Load Of Rubbish!

OK, so I'm a little blurrrry eyed this morning....thank the Lord on high for nutella on toast!

The idea here is you enjoy using the River Soca all summer, so you volunteer at the end of the season to help clean up and return the river to her pristine state.

So we set off, a fleet of rafts, a load of local yocal's, 20million bin bags and a bottle of Borovnica a a a aahhhh.

It was nice to be out on the river, fully suited and booted it wasn't too cold, plus jumping in and out of the raft kept us warm anyway......It was interesting to see that the majority of the rubbish was more industrial than domestic. The picnic spots were spot-less, it was more the odd bit of plastic piping and lids from stuff.....and there were certainly no tesco shopping trolleys or bicycle wheels!

Rubbish sorted, and packed off to the local tip (where the recycling facilities are impressive!), then Bev and I were rather awkwardly interviewed by the local TV Station, Pop TV.si I am useless at that sort of thing, I instantly start walking like a robot and talking too quickly when a camera is on me....

We were then fed and watered by Soca Rafting, plus there was a prize giving where pretty much everyone won something, very generous and unexpected....and more Borovnica a a ahh!

It all got a bit messy after that, and needless to say here I am feeding myself sober with nutella on toast!

Off to walk Bob now, then a proper Sunday Lunch is in order...yay!!!
