I spotted this book in wonderful Blackwell's in Oxford and decided to give one of the exercises a try on my walk around the village today. So I took two Random Experience Generation Pills, with water as directed, and went off to spot 10 things I hadn't noticed before

Here are some of the things I hadn't noticed before -

I'd noticed the daffodils but not so much the 26 other items on this little triangle of grass at a road junction..

12 signs, 1 phone box and 2 telegraph poles

Many and various bollards and hydrants

A box for grit and one for dog poo

This must have had some meaning for BT once!

Some signs were cleaner than others..

Britain IS beautiful (but it needs a spring clean!)

I hate litter

The sweet scent of the muckspreader to finish my walk!

Well, that cheered up your day, didn't it?!

Sorry!

Rose-tinted spectacles back on tomorrow (I do like my rose-tinted spectacles..)

What would you like to see cleaned up where you live?

There were also celandine....

Surprising what you see when you actually look isn't it. I have a friend who goes round the village every year with a bucket of water and a cloth and washes all the signs - organises litter picks and weeds the churchyard.

p.s. loved the book - I like to think of myself as a keen observer of the world that surrounds me - so it would be right up my street - anything that helps us be more aware of our surroundings is a winner. Off now to place an order - thanks for the tip.

It's a fun book, isn't it!

A corner of a field I pass when walking, it has an unpleasant attraction to litter.
Have a safe journey home this weekend.

The pavements ! Sadly, dog owners here in the Paris area don't all have much consideration for others. : (
