Bert the Gnome has been active as a commenter on the blog recently and has has his own Holy Grail similar to mine. Even though he doesn’t have a boat yet. Bert, better known as Ross, walks the tow path taking photographs and removes any litter he finds. Not having a boat yet makes his towpath clearing activities all the more impressive. Well done.
So there I am rinsing my hand pump out when along walks this chap and says “Hello, Maffi,” quickly followed by, “I’m Bert the Gnome.”
“Ah hello,” says I. “I cannot shake hands as I am a bit unclean,” is what I meant to say, but I probably said something disgusting.
Ross has found a source for litter pickers that is a good bit cheaper than Argos. Here. At £3.25 they are a bargain. It would be nice if everyone had one then we could all get out there and clean up.
