It felt very sad to be heading home from tonight's task in the dark - winter evenings are coming! We made the most of the fading light with a stupendous effort clearing the pathways at the back of the Synagogue - check out Laura's before and after photos!

There were lots of cries of "OW!" as brambles fought back, and "OH NO"s as unwitting snails met unfortunate ends whilst we were working hard.

We were very lucky - the sun shone and the showers held off for our lunchtime litterpick!

In half an hour we made a big difference to this little empty space and filled up 2 big bags.

We interrupted lunch being served in the little woods at Baffins Pond where a family were happily feeding monkey nuts to the squirrels, rats, pigeons and crows! We paused to admire a squirrel eating whilst upside down and then got on with our litterpick.

It was great to meet Maelys on her first mission!

Laura and I enjoyed helping out at Great Salterns Parkrun, giving out finish tokens and barcode scanning.

It's a lovely setting - with the open green space, the trees and the new colourful wildflower meadow.

After a last minute change of plan after our Task Holder had to cancel, we celebrated Dave's 500th Good Deed!

It was also a perfect introductory task for Ranjitha, who joined us for her second Good Deed this evening. She even found the obligatory pair of pants behind a bench!

After half an hour of picking up packaging and pruning bushes of sweet papers, we headed over to the Brewers Tap for a celebratory drink.

Nice work, everyone!
