Rain, wind, sun and a rainbow and that was just the first 5 minutes.

We managed a full lap of the whole park area and Harry & Rich also went into the play area to tidy up in there (and see if they could spot any kids from school!).

No big finds this week apart from a Dodgeball DVD (if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball!) as well as hundreds of lollipop sticks and (of course) cigarette butts. Big news of the evening was that Jen did go home 25p richer, that's Alice sorted for pocket money! Jo found a piece of Christmas tree and I found some chocolate money wrappers so we were in season with the weather at least.

Once we'd done almost our whole lap and said hello to the animals, Rosie spotted loads of rubbish in the bushes and jumped in to retrieve it.

We left the park just as the next lot of rain was about to fall so there was an added element of trying to get indoors without getting totally soaked... Not sure how many of the 6 managed it....
