Keep Lancing Lovely. I spent some time sketching the wonderful volunteer litter pickers in Lancing and Worthing. This is an illustration focusing on the Lancing litter pick event which happens once a month. I always look for something that catches my eye straight away when I am deciding what to draw. On this occasion I was immediately drawn to the huge metal fish sculpture which has been placed on the green to encourage people to recycle their bottles.
It’s also a spot which is well known for kitesurfing and attracts a lot of visitors. There are many organised groups along the coast and I was struck at just how much fun everyone was having and how many young children were getting involved. It was a real family event and I was made very welcome by everyone. There was a strong sense of community spirit and it left me feeling uplifted and positive about just how much people care. It’s surprising what you’ll find left on the beach and very sad to think how much damage it can do to the ocean and marine life. Why not join a litter pick?

Dozens of of matching filled small water bottles with blue tops on have been spotted washed up today in the tide on Sussex beaches in #Worthing / #Goring / #Brighton and reports now as far East as #Hastings
We believe these could be related to a Similar find in the channel Islands..
The bottles of Avant mineral water began washing up in huge numbers on Guernsey’s west coast earlier last month, and several have also been spotted in Jersey and France.
Oranges have also been washed up in Pevensey
They possibly came from a Container ship that lost containers in English Channel WEC VAN EYCK on Feb 16 lost 4 containers overboard in western English Channel, some 43 nm NNW of Ushant island,
maritimebulletin .net reports 2 drifting containers were spotted on Feb 17 north of Ushant, during a surveillance flight.

We met friends old and new to tell our story, take kind donations and to share our plans and ideas. Well done to Daniel at #adurmarkets for the organisation. Looking forward to the October Market! #KeepLancingLovely
