After many weeks of preparation, Love Nature Week 2012 kicks off today!
And it’s the weather glorious for it? We’ve got buckets of sunshine, and sunshine coloured buckets. It’s all set to be a fantastic fundraising event. In the Midlands 74 volunteers will be heading out into the sun this weekend to shake a bucket. I’m a little concerned that I will be wearing a monkey costume at my collection in Morrisons today. Is an all-in-one fleece suit really a good idea in 25 degrees? I’ll soon find out...
But I’m sure you’ll agree, with weather like this the best usage for a bucket (once it’s been used to fundraise) has got to be a Bucket Barbeque.
Grab that grilled halloumi, rub spices into the ribs and sizzle those sausages! Anyone who’s spent the day Love Nature Week collecting more than deserves a delicious BBQ to celebrate their fundraising success. Thank you to all.
(and don’t forget to watch Eurovision!)
