Chris and I joined the Woolston Wombles for another lovely litter pick under and around the bridge. Trying out his newly purchased picker Chris was able to collect another good haul, including some well hidden specimens. They are off to raise money for the Hampshire Air Ambulance a worthy cause. We will be back next month and see how many more we can collect.

The stylish Finnuala and I had a good session helping the Friends of Peartree Green Nature Reserve clear vegetation along the pathways. Making space for the wild flowers and plants otherwise smothered by the rampant, ever present brambles. A great workout of course and we even managed a quick hot drink and a biscuit. Very welcome as it was a cold, chilly morning. Thank you as always to Phil and all the friends who are always very welcoming and happy to see new faces. Back again later in the month for another session.
