That's a shame. Home Bargains have a fantastic offer on bin bags at the moment. Litter picking itself was a poor expression on my part. I was looking at community projects to spruce up some of the local areas. It's not something I'd have any interest in doing myself, but I would have tried to do something like together with R to get her involved in things and meet different people. As of this minute, she is standing atop of some 'mountain' (a large hill, in reality) helping her brothers with the potato harvest. She's cleaning them, apparently. In light of this, picking up a few crisp packets would be a welcome relief! If these innocent activities could potentially be distorted to appear as something else, then of course I shall steer clear of them. Oh, and I'll give you 2 guesses as to who bought the tent!
It is VERY important that she have something (nice!) to do and some people to make friends with when she arrives here. The ban on volunteering doesn't help matters but I suppose there may be a club or clubs. Nice tent..
