Leafleting today

Leafleting :   its good exercise, and gives you a chance to take a closer look at everyone's gardens.  The variety in gardening styles is as diverse as the people whose gardens they are.  There are the gravel-only types and the push your way through the bushes types, and everything in between.  Today I saw a large brown rat, and a pond literally bulging with frogspawn...and loads of brand new spring flowers !!  Only one hostile dog behind a letter box.

Saturday in Beverley - vote for your kids

Took leaflets and placards into Beverley. Sunny, busy. People walking past trying not to make eye contact. Feeling rather disconsolate - when a wonderful thing happened: 2 girls aged about 13 came up and asked what I was doing. I explained. One said 'Why are you dressed like that? It's weird' (boots, skirt, Green Party tabard, rosette and straw hat). The other said, 'That's rude', and I said, 'It's to attract attention.' Then they offered to take some leaflets to give out!! They did this for several hours, parading the placard up and down the crowded street....and they want to do it next saturday as well!
