Lovely day for another litter pick down by Golden Mile View. Lottie is sporting a new harness as she gradually ripped through the old one. Went for orange this time - to stay on brand! Also upgraded her Slate Legal badges as she’d scratched the previous one on brambles. We filled 3 bags with all sorts of the usual filth: tin cans, plastic bottles, rubber, random fabrics, multiple sanitary pads, sweet wrappers, wires & broken glass.

Since our last litter pick I note that Welsh Water and another business are being sued in the High Court for polluting the rivers Wye, Lugg and Usk…

Had a lovely long walk with my PA in the beautiful Sirhowy Valley Country Park and she ended up going for a refreshing swim!
