First of all I hope I've put this in the right place. Today whilst going for a wander over the malverns with my family my 5 year old daughter pointed something out I thought worth a mention.
When we go for a walk we always take a small plastic bag to pick up any rubbish we may come across as we move along (I don't want to turn this into a rant, but I think litterbugs should be dragged to the nearest town centre and some one let the cat out of the bag:AR15firin), anyway whilst on the top enjoying the view my little one says "what's that?".A quick scan with the bino's and I reply "a can poppit". She then asks why do people drop litter and why is no one picking it up as they walk past, as I'm trying to formulate an answer a guy in a brown t-shirt walking a dog with two small children in tow and the rest of his family bends down shakes out what's left and carries it away. My little ones next statement gave me pause to think "is that man a hero? He deserves a medal for that".
Now I don't know what prompted this reaction but I just wanted to say thanks to all the "heros" out there.
And if you were the guy walking over British camp with your family my little girl spotted the act and named you. As a parent I send out my thanks for the example and helping to reaffirm the lessons we've been trying to teach.
To all the unsung heros out there:You_Rock_.
