Began the day in Penrith, helping out at the Penrith litter pick. Encountered a slightly bizarre situation when the Conservative Leader of Eden District Council refused to let me use one of their litter grabbers because I was wearing my party rosette! Fortunately I was able to use my hands (!) and we filled the best part of a bag from the bus station area. Good job that several Lib Dems turned up as I didn't spot a single councillor from the other parties.
Then on to Brampton's Energy Fair. A fascinating event with a series of vendors all providing information on micro generation systems. Much to think about, can I really do without my oil tank - costing ever more at each refill. Yes I can, according to the brochures I have carried home.
