Beach Clean & BBQ at Portwrinkle Beach 9th May 2015

This week we were treated to a first taste of summer as we headed to Portwrinkle Beach for a Beach Clean & BBQ as part of The Great British Beach Clean.
This week were driven by Chris who had just passed his mini-bus driving test...
PEA On The Road in the future perhaps?

We were well equipped with our 'little' barbie...

As well as some new litter pickers which the girls were rather excited about...

While Chris is more of a bin hoop kind of guy...

Whilst everyone had the standard cup of PEA-teabreak tea...

Sam got to work on getting the barbie going...ala blowtorch...

 Chris then set about explaining the beach clean survey sheets that we 
would use to monitor our litter picking...
"I think it's this one...."

"No Chris...It's this one..."

During the beach clean we found a few interesting...and strange things...

Some cuttlefish egg shells

A moustache...

A cup...

And 'Huge' sharks purse...

Soon the survey section of the beach clean was done, 
and it was time to rustle up some grub!

Sam took charge as our grill chef...

Meat & Veggie...

Whilst the rest of us sliced and sewered veggies...

No Esther control your inner rabbit!!!

And now..some 'classy' cooking shots....





Whats a good burger without 'lots'
...and I mean LOTS...of tomato sauce...

Mhmmm.....

After the very fine food, we found this little guy as we were washing up...

While Esther's inner rabbit had her sampling the local floral and fauna...Mmm?....

We then polished off the rest of the beach till it was spotless, 
and we had managed to fill four whole bags...


Finally to reward us for all our hard work ,
 Julz very kindly bought everyone an Icecream...
That's 'Everyone' Esther, not JUST you!

Thank you Julz! x
