Today it was all about tidying up around the new spring growth, some high winds, and the inevitable sprinkling of the, still very beautiful, blossomming trees. We finished trimming perimeter grass around the rose beds, hoeing and redistributing earth. Weeding some more areas to keep on top of it, and sweeping pathways to make it look more attractive to Park visitors. We had an occasional light drizzle, but saw some sunshine to. The tine went really quickly and we were soon enjoying a cuppa and conversation at the end of the session. After lots of good fresh air and an uplifting of spirits, we were on our way.

The chairs were stacked, tables wiped and paperwork filed. All ready for the next event.

A very busy foodbank with less volunteers. Everyone cracked on and it worked!

All was spick and span in the bat of an eye

A busy foodbank today with 24 food parcels and over 40 people using the cafe. Less volunteers than usual had Rob and Richard churning them out alone and a great job they did!

One goodgymer joined 5 Friends of Langstone Harbour volunteers and the Countrside Officer to do a mega litterpick!

In just 3 hours we cleared a stretch of Milton Common and filled 15 bin bags with litter and fly tipping including a TV, 2 signs, a witches hat, a fire extinguisher, a bench, a trolley and 16 shoes!

We also had the time to identify 4 species of butterflies and 6 birds.
