Rachel, Rachael and James met on a Monday morning to help Shipshape charity get their grounds shipshape. Lots of local people use the grounds, but many sadly don't pick up after themselves.

We cleared the flower beds at the front and the most obvious pieces of litter all around before heading into the long grass for a deeper dive. The quote from the Lost World came to mind, which led to a trip down memory lane about films that freaked us out as children.

After plenty of litter bagged and plenty of chit chat, and leggings dusted free of burs, we headed our separate ways until next time
