In a miraculous turn we had exceptional weather for last nights litter litter picking!

Evelyn & I managed to fill 3 bags worth of litter while going through Cross Street and then towards Glebe Gardens.

We definitely found some plentiful areas for litter which we will be going back to.

Next week we are doing a walk and talk with a walk up to 7.5km through Basingstoke.

In a bit of a wet and wild evening we went out for a litter pick to make sure that the paths the free Lets Glow! exhibition were safe.

It was lovely having Evelyn & Tazmin join from the Sports & Social Club and then Samantha meet us halfway along!

They also kindly introduced me to the Wote Street willy which I somehow waled past for 18 months without noticing..

All in all it was a great evening (if wet) and the Lets Glow! is going to be amazing, I hope everyone gets to enjoy it.

We went out for a night of great litter picking, and I may have overestimated my internal compass and made a few small detours.

But it was great seeing Ruth again and having Madeline for her second session!

Okay warm might have been a stretch.. But it definitely wasn't as cold as previous weeks have been!

It was a really fun evening picking up a lot of litter and chatting the whole time. We found some pretty weird stuff such as, a torn up football in 15 different parts, a single glove, half a bottle of vodka and I got taught once again about different English sweets.

It was lovely meeting Madeline for the first time and thank you to Charli & Samantha meeting us partway through the session!

I think it was Tazmin's 4th session in a row while Evelyn showed off her fancy new litter picker!

We changed it up last night and decided to do a walk and then planning session as we have been struggling to find sessions to do during the winter.

Tazmin & Charli had some excellent ideas I will follow up on and we learnt that Samantha knows everyone in the area, so will definitely lean on her connections!

We joined the Lift the Curfew session ran by the Basingstoke Aquadrome.

There were 5 of us there with 3 people choosing to walk while and Samantha & I jogged ahead and then walked back consistently.

It was amazing meeting Samantha who came to her first session and really enjoyed our chats.

See you tomorrow
