This post resonated deeply and what a fantastic adventure to be embarking on! My dear friend who I met when we were 12 and we were lifelong friends, had an absolute mission to collect litter - the careless drop and go habit of people drove her crazy. She always took a bag, gloves and a litter picker wherever she went. The last chapter of her life was spent searching for treatments for ovarian cancer - she and her husband had retired after working hard, had bought a beautiful mobile home they called Lola and were planning trips to explore Europe. Then after much battling with her Doctor who thought she was overreacting to a lump she could feel she got her diagnosis and it plunged her into a very different set of journeys. She was beautiful, creative, astute, opinionated, brave, loved beauty, nature, John Clare, beloved by family and friends and was taken too soon. Missed by so many. She lived every moment with a fierce passion and I know she would have loved what you are doing. So thank you for your post and for bringing my dear friend so sharply back into the present.

It is so sad. Heartbreaking that your first van experiences was to witness littering but I love how you’ve decided to turn it into something positive. Yes of course I’d love to see what you do with it. You truly are a one in a million. ☺️
