I see from their latest newsletter the "Wavewalker's work is finished".  They don't actually say it will be walking away, or when, but it should be quite a sight when it does.

Well, I went out to do my bit last night, but none of my neighbours appeared. Was it just that people didn't know it was happening again, are people 'clapped out', or do people feel that there are better ways of supporting the NHS etc ?
