Four GGers (and sleepy mini GGer!) tackled Bransbury Park on our monthly battle with litter there. Only one bag this time with the usual food and drink wrappers / cans, and a beast-themed collar / fitness strap / bag strap which provided a perfect pun!

Only half an hour but still chipping away and making a difference to the nature in this area and beyond! I also cleared up a wet wipe dumping ground on the way home in the alley - our work is never done!

Until next month GGers!

it was a busy busy day at the foodbank today. Record breaking with parcels for 10 people and many big packs.

Pack down was delayed this week as we were still providing parcels at 1230! Once finished we packed up, stack Ed and closed the storehouse door ready for next week.

Perfect conditions for parkwalking and tail walking at Southsea parkrun, helping the vent happen for 390 parkrunners.

A pebble photoshoot was followed by the run brief and the very busy start that eventually rippled through to us walkers. Setting off along the prom withbb by lots of chat, the sea was beautiful alongside the promenade.

Passing the yomping Royal Marine, we were also passed by the front runners, still in a big pack and looking much hotter than us peaceful walkers!

Even the gentle breeze on the return leg was lovely, and super efficient scanners meant the results were processed super fast - well done everyone!

Yvonne and Jane decided to clean up the shore at Eastney Lake post parkrun.

We walked around the lock, tried to set sail and cycle in our search for litter.

Yvonne wanted to borrow a boat she'd found to pick up litter that was floating away but unfortunately the tide was out and we didn't have time to wait for it to return.

Jane tried out an electric bike but didn't get very far either.

Not a big haul today, just bits of plastic, cotton buds and food wrappings.

3 was the magic number today with 3 of us turning up to weed and de-litter the North End street garden and both Jane and Yvonne completing their 3rd good deed of the day (it was "only" my 2nd!)

There was plenty of litter to be picked up, no good if you have a limp litter picker, mid task adjustments were needed! Lots of cans and glass, as usual, plus a discarded takeaway, half a sandwich and some gloves! Jane got all the news (plus 20 questions) from NE local Gary, who also thanked us for our help (better than the church apparently!)

Yvonne had a garden waste bag in her car so took all the weeds as well as all the recycling back home (good deed number 4?!).

Plenty of good done and dusted in an hour then we all headed our separate ways for a well earned lunch!
