The beach cleaning needs tonbe every weekend and often weekdays, year round. So I formed a community interest company and employ a beach cleaner. We also organise our own volunteer events and facilitate others' beach cleans with our equipment.

I have recently widened the scope to include residential streets where inconsiderate beach visitors park and litter. One elderly lady returned from her husband's funeral two years agonto find a soiled nappy thrown into her front garden. We now have our own community street and beach cleaner.

The local council pays lip service to saying they appreciate what we do. I think they despise me for it. It showcases their inefficiency. They insist we submit risk assessmemts and public liability insurance - which I do.

surplus cash is used tonhelp rewiding on a patch of neglected council land which I hope to expand on. Approx 1/3 of an acre we have cut, scarified, sewn native wild flower seeds, planted 64kg of bulbs, 20 + heritage fruit trees and numerous soft fruit bushes. It's set to become a community mini orchard. I love it! We have maintain three mown paths through the land. You see people detouring to show their kids the flowers and collect for pressing etc.

In short the massive gap between what needs to be done and what the council delivers is far to great to be filled by volunteers alone.

The biggest snail in the world the size of a rabbit...a common sight in tropical West African markets......saw these escaping the shopping bags of women coming back from a local market...a ride in a Nigerian mammy wagon is nothing less than memorable...I later sampled a slice of one with a handful of steaming fufu...also memorable.
