The joy I get from walking around the Barbican gardens and lakes have inspired me, during this most recent lockdown, to purchase a litter picker so I can collect rubbish whilst on my daily walk around the estate. I was also inspired by chatting to a fellow resident who is doing the same : Walter has been litter picking regularly on the estate for far longer than I have and it was he who encouraged me to get involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Barbican and City of London cleaners do a wonderful job but they can’t be here all time so it’s a pleasure to help out. It’s also very satisfying – it feels like a triumph to haul an empty crisp packet from the edge of the lake or to retrieve a paper cup from the edge of the garden beds. I hate the thought of wildlife having to co-exist with litter. Cigarette butts are a particular obsession, I must admit…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst I pick, I love seeing the stones that a kindly soul has painted with bright colours and written positive words and thoughts on. These are dotted around the Barbican gardens and they always make me smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also been wonderful how many people stop and say a socially distanced hello \u2013 which is how I met Kate and heard about her great Lockdown Inspiration project!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
