We were back at St Faith's this evening after a long break and the team seemed pleased to have us back!

Rodney, Eleanor and Judy tackled the litter around the site, finding a number of interesting items, including an abandoned handbag.

The rest of the squad battled the unforgiving bindweed, budlia and general weeds. Two massive Hippo bags were filled in just under an hour. Myself and Dave discovered a chonky wee toad whilst bagging up cuttings, leading to probably the highest pitched squeak I've ever made.

We enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and some biscuits courtesy of Jenny and John at the end of the visit. What a lovely evening out!
