here we go again

Things come in threes (good things as well as bad I suppose), and all signs seem to be pointing to a revival of ilovemybeach. First was a call from long-time beach cleaner Angela, to get us involved in the MCS' annual big beach clean-up and second was a call from Katy at the BTCV (British Trust for Conservation Volunteers) to see if we'd be involved in their end of the beach clean - so of course we said yes to both. One is starting from one end of the beach and the other from the other....so hopefully we'll meet midway. Third sign was the timely broadcast of Panorama on Beeb1 focusing on sewage outflows onto Britain's beaches and featuring our chum Andy from SAS and a nice sounding chap from MCS' good beach guide. As is the way with modern reportage it was long on simplistic blame and short on sensible solutions but at least they gave the silly lady from the Environment Agency enought rope; which she duly used to show what a toothless, ineffective and cowardly organisation the EA is.

So after a few months off we'll be back on the case and blogging up a storm to help make it a big and special occasion. I've become a bit sceptical about the usefulness of Twitter but we'll tweet our activities too......just in case anyone is listening on that frequncy.
