We had a lovely morning litter picking in Exhibition Park. Thankfully the rain actually stayed away! I was joined by Carol Anne, Liz, Louise, Kate and Charlotte.

The bin bags that I had picked up turned out to be absolutely huge (as seen in the photo with Carol Anne!) There was so much rubbish about, that we could have carried on for hours. So many bottles and cans.

It was lovely to be thanked by a member of the public in the park for our efforts.

It was absolutely lovely to welcome Charlotte and Kate for their first ever GoodGym good deed! Please go and give them a cheer, they were so enthusiastic and got stuck in straight away.

(The award for the best find of the day actually goes to Charlotte and Kate who found a Halloween wig)
